New member here and I recently built a 1.5 acre back yard pond. We’ve stocked FHM and figgerling CNBG in the early spring.I stocked the bluegill at the high end of the online recommendations found elsewhere on the web before I found this site. I’ve fertilized and fed them all year. My intentions were to grow big bass faster. The BG have already spawned this summer and the place is swarming with fish. My local feed store has one last fish day this year and I wanted to add some LMB next week.

My only real concern is adding them with cooler water temps. We have our first freezing temps coming in a few days and was wondering if they may not survive the transfer. The weather is not going to stay cold long and my area normally sees daytime highs in the lower 70’s this time of year. I’m grateful for the advice and look forward to learning here.
