Great information NEDOC. Thanks for taking the time.
Going to have to think on that about the cage. I was trying to go the lazy way and just dumping them in the forage pond filled with FHM, knowing that I probably would never get them all back out. But I figured I could get maybe a third of them with a cast net over a few weeks time, enough to stock my other ponds. Then just have fun fishing for them as the remaining ones grew larger. I like BG fishing so even fishing for 6-10" ones for me would be fun.
But you have planted a seed in my mind. I'm thinking maybe hedge my bets (in case I screw up something, which is likely) and put half of them in a cage and put the other half in the 1/20th acre forage pond.
I had the pleasure of visiting NEDOC's place a couple years ago and seeing his HSB (and some gigantic RES) first hand. Was a great visit.
