[QUOTE="Hduke86, post: 4809975, member: 18913"] I’ll look for my paperwork when I get home, but in order for the pond to thrive you’ll need a GOOD SOLID food base. Test the water cause it’ll definitely probably need fertilized and then I’d definitely start doing pond improvements as simple as putting gravel beds in 3-4’ water for fish beds. One of the best things to do is focus on bait fish and wooden pallets on the pond bed in shallow water are great for fathead minnows to spawn. There’s a ton a general plans you can implement yourself to get it started in the right directions as in clear out as many of the smaller fish as you can and especially catfish and once you have a good food base which isn’t hard to do then add your bass and if you don’t want bream galore put some hybrids cause most are males and grow HUGE but they don’t necessarily reproduce like crazy. Working a pond is a fun hobby and another great investment is some sort of water disturbance in the form of fountain, air bubbler and even a windmills air pump to keep the water well oxygenated.
