Cajun, welcome to Pond Boss. A year from now, I doubt that you will have enough bluegills, starting with 100, in 2 acres, to feed bass.

I understand budgets. My general recommendation is to start with 1,000 bluegill per surface acre and add bass a year later. I often tell people to not add bass until they can go to sleep with their mouth open and wake up with a full belly.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
