Heres an example of what you can grow in a acre pond with no aeration or supplemental feeding, with a huge bluegill forage base.

Is he the only fish left in there?  Who would have expected that from a pond you could cast across? Wow.

TxJole, if your hybrids floated "about a month after stocking", something was bad wrong.
PM me, perhaps I can help.

PM me, perhaps I can help. I consulted with a TP&W biologist, who gave my a # for a biologist @ A&M who works on stocking assessments. My oxygen level was too low for sandies or hybrids. Do to the soil, ph and other factors I was advised its a perfect habitat for LMB and Crappie. I'd love to talk to you about it, to get a fish to grow like that you have to have a true touch on pond managment.

Nice fish!
Man I am chomping at the bit to go out to Cedar Creek and catch some hybrids under the light at night on the fly. But its been SO DANG WINDY!!!
John 5:24 Very truly I say to you,whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life,and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
1Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.

Yes the wind is pitiful...everyday it is windy. I am tired of the wind, and it is drying out everything...we should get rain Saturday.

I'd love to talk to you about it, to get a fish to grow like that you have to have a true touch on pond managment. TxJole, check out these links for starters, and we can discuss by PM. http://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthread...ite_id=1#importhttp://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthread...ite_id=1#importhttp://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthread...ite_id=1#importI have been in this program for some 5 years now and consistsantly produce 3-5# HSB, considering them as a put and take species. They are a blast on a fly rod! Your biologist is correct on water quality but many will disagree with his recommendation to stock crappie wisth LMB. Crappie spawn before LMB and will devastate the LMB spawn, and result in overpopulated and stunted crappie. Copper Nose Bluegill is the recommended forage for LMB, and also tilapia for forage and alge control. It all depends on the goals for your pond.

How often do you pull a big Hybrid out of your pond?
