IS the reason you are suggesting predators to start eating now, because i stocked BG instead of HBG?

i stocked 300 BG ( supposed to be HBG) and 100 RES 45 days ago.
My guess is that there were 50?? in their prior to stocking.
i've never seen any "fry" whatsoever.

ALso i'm building a trap tomorrow. I'll report what i catch.


.20 acre pond-that leaks/4-5' deep. Stocked 6/22/19 with 300 BG(supposed to be HBG, removed 100+/- so far), 100 RES, 3carp. On 8/20 added 300 HBG, + 21 5"HSB. 8/21 added 5 8" SMB, one 10" LMB , one 14" CC
