Sorry folks, it’s taken me a good 10 hrs to figure out how to reply on the forum 😀 old people and technology doesn’t mix well. As far as What I’m hoping for in my pond I guess first off I want a healthy ecosystem. And yes I want some bragging fish as well. I want my kids to have a chance to reel one in and not just look at empty baits. I want my ponds productivity to last more than 5 years. I want to stock it now and still have good genetics 15 years from now with a chance at hooking a rod breaker. I guess I want it all. I’m thinking of stocking 200 f1’s, 100 Florida bass, 100 northern bass, and maybe 50 hybrid stripes. What’s that sound like?
