Supplemental Stocking

Harvesting bass at the recommended rate of 30 to 35 pounds per acre can be quite difficult in lakes larger than 2 or 3 acres. When the annual bass harvest falls short of the recommended quota, supplemental forage stocking becomes extremely important in maintaining an adequate forage base to ensure the bass in your pond grow fast and fat. We offer a variety of forage species including threadfin and gizzard shad, golden shiners, tilapia, trout, bluegill, and crawfish. Keep in mind that not all forage species are created equal, and that some species perform better than others depending upon the condition of the pond. Our team of fisheries biologists can help you determine the proper species and stocking rates for your pond stocking needs that will allow your bass to reach their full growth potential.
