Pond Stocking

[Sgt Fury]

You have an amazing pond @OhioWhiteTails . Mine is a woods pond and I doubt there will be any swimming.

X2. That pond is beautiful....I’m jelly!

Thanks, I enjoy watching it evolve. As I said earlier, everyone's different and has an idea of what they want. Bass, bluegill, and channels are awesome to have in a pond. I just wanted to try something different.

I’m thinking about a woods pond myself. So I’m following.

Just be reminded...if you have a pond with fish... the new baby fish you introduce will simply be food for the bigger fish. You can cut that curve a little sinking Xmas trees and pallet stacks.

We won't be swimming in ours and I'm trying to replicate "Grandma's pond". I grew up on a woods pond slaying bluegill and the occasional good bass. We have a couple decent cats already, so I just need the missing links.

When the property was logged before we bought It they dropped trees into the pond. We pulled out most of them but there are still a few in it. Hoping that provides some cover. There are lots of cattails at the shallow end too.

Well shit... now I want a pond full of jumbo yellow perch!

Another vote for Fender’s. Steve is a good dude and will point you in the right direction. Our club is over an hour from him and he delivers fish to us. Prices are on their website too.

 

[Spencie]

The prices between the 2 seem to be very similar. One is 10 minutes from the house and the other 2 hours. I think I will check local first. Thanks for the info though ...it helps to compare.

Talked with Marlow, they are going to have a package ready by next week

 

[giles]

Sweet! Glad it’s all working out.

 

[MoonLab]

Good shit right there

 

[Quantum673]

Awesome!

Very nice. I talked to my dad today. He's going to match me $ for $ on our pond. Going to call them tomorrow for a preliminary convo. I'm going to skim a little off the puppy mill proceeds to pay for it. What helps this along is little Kenna Grace when I promised to take her camping in the woods behind the house and she says: "I don't want to camp in the woods, I want to camp where we can catch fish." She's 3 and has it figured out already!

 

[Buckmaster]

Just don’t feed the current fish the fish you just purchased.

 

[bowhunter1023]

There's nothing of size but 2 catfish in there to my knowledge. It's essentially a giant bait tank. I need some muscle in there.

Fire up that generator and find out

Yup. I’d find out before dumping money into it.

 

[bowhunter1023]

We've discussed draining it to start from scratch and build some structure. Haven't ruled it out. But 15 years of fishing and no one, regardless of method, has ever caught a bass. Biggest bluegill caught might be 6". It's the most pathetic farm pond I've ever fished in, which has always been a disappointment.

I’ve never known you to do something half assed. Or start a project with unknowns. Kinda took me by surprise is all. You are an all or nothing kind of guy
