Bruce, my forage/grow-out pond goal continues to evolve.
Since larger HSB stockers are now readily available, there is no need to pursue “growing” out small HSB to avoid predation in main pond…..
I am currently transferring 10-12 inch 2006 class HSB from ¼ acre pond to main 2 acre pond, leaving a few 2#+ 2005 class HSB in the ¼ acre pond to attempt controlling current prolific CNBG spawn.
In attempt to enhance Florida CNBG genetics in main pond, my male only “cull” Arkansas strain CNBG are being moved to grow-out pond. I am removing ALL females caught from small pond.
AQMX 600 feed program – don’t want the small gills to get feed trained, thus the larger pellets.
I am moving all 9 inch+ male Arkansas trait CNBG to small pond BG pond for fun fishin’….
You guys have caused trouble for a guy that once thought BG’s were only bait?...
