Anyway, I hooked up with Arkansas Pond Stockers at the coop tonight in Batesville, and got some hybrid bream, a few cat, a bunch of fatheads, and added a few grass carp to the waters.

    Jeff, is this going to be one of those ponds that you pay for the fish caught ? Now that you posted that big fish everyone will be at your pond

    I hear tell that one of the reasons there aren't many fish in the pond now is that the guy who built the place let his church group fish it and take out all the fish they caught, as well as there being an elderly gentleman from down the road that fished it every day. I like to think of myself as a generous guy, but I'm not that generous...

    Keep us posted on your progress. I have a couple of ponds that have not been managed in a while. I don't want to kill the current population out because there are some nice crappie in there. But, the bream are terribly stunted. We are catching bass out of one and releasing them into the pond with all of the bream. I have been wondering if I put about 300 hybrid bream in it, if they would eat up the spawn of the native bream? DP
