[QUOTE="gtk, post: 4809930, member: 795"] [b]Re: West TN Farm Pond Stocking[/b] My thoughts... Don't put that much $$ into that pond unless you plan on monitoring the sizes and fishing it a LOT. If you don't put the time/effort into keeping the populations in check, it will quickly get out of control. You will probably need to fertilize/lime every so often and that gets' expensive quick as well. We built a 13+ acre lake that we stocked with bream/redear/catfish. I relocated some large bass from another pond, which was a big mistake according to the biologist, because they quickly spawn and over populate. We enjoyed good fishing the first 5 years or so, and then the pond went downhill fast, because we couldn't keep the bass/bream in check. Now we have a lot of small bass and small bream. [/QUOTE]
