I think I'll go up to 1.75lbs to throw on the bank. Still trying to get some shiners to put in a hactery pond that will fill up and overflow after 1-2 more tropical storms into the main pond. My land is swampy and I think I can do that every year to good effect without digging a new hole. That way I get a few mnths of safe ish spawning before the bass go to town.
Some day in the future when money isn't an object I will dig a permanent forage pond.
Im going to ask a lot of questions, but only because I'm clueless
