Sounds like a good experiment NEDOC. Do keep us informed.
My problem is not getting the fish to eat enough. They would eat lots more than I am feeding them. My problem is paying for the feed!
That is one problem with a larger size pond. If I fed all the feed my fish would eat, I think I would need to take out a mortgage on the place.
A smaller pond with less fish I could probably full feed them and get faster, better growth. The way it is we will have more fish than we can ever eat or want to clean so extra fast growth might not be best for my goals anyway.
The good part about a larger pond is I can fish different areas on different days and hopefully put off fish getting hook shy quite so bad by not fishing a small area so often.
