we are on our eighth year.
About 2/3 acre surface area. We overstocked and have yet to recover....just for thoughts.......
One acre, properly stocked will support roughly 100 pounds of bass.
10 10 pounders or 100 one pounders....
coopernose bluegill have been great.
threadfine minnows to start, then the blue gill, then the bass.
Southern is right 4-5 surface acres for sacalait.
depth has little to do with it.....6 feet average is good.
fertilizer is important.
did I mention
www.pondboss.com??
invaluable.
google Bob Lusk.....he is the man on ponds in the gulf coast area.
LSU is good...pondboss is great
