I have a 1 acre pond that will be ready to stock with bass this spring. I have built up the bluegill and minnow population over the last 1.5 years.
I will be ordering from Dunn's fish farm most likely, and they have the option between regular northern and Florida Hybrid LM bass.
I have read that pure Floridas aren't really desired, but not sure about the Hybrid. My understanding is that Floridas are harder to catch but get bigger. Are Hybrid's as aggressive to lurers as the northerns?
Also, what would be the ideal size to stock? Options range from 2-8" in 2" increments.
The goal for this pond would be a recreational spot to catch bass for the kiddos. I would would prefer to catch a lot of 3-4 pounders over catching just a few 6+ lb size bass.
