a year provide plenty of forage for growing bass.

pond, and tolerate even the worst of water quality conditions. Stocking Rates between 50 and 100 per acre are normal but up to 1000 per acre is possible depending on feeding and aeration.

Golden Shiners

Shiners are another wonderful baitfish to push growth on sportfish, especially bass. Shiners grow larger than fathead minnows making them an excellent food source for largemouth. Stocking rates between 5 and 20 lbs per acre depending on your goals.
