Where is the best place to get some Bass to stock a 35 acre pond deepest depth is about 4 foot deep

Edit. Pond use to be a crawfish pond. Gave that up and stocked it with bass.
Caught some hammers last winter. Unforeseen circumstances and drought and lost everything including my Lil brother.

4 feet? Hope you have a water well keeping it full during the summer months.

Don’t put bass first or they will eat everything else you put

As mentioned Shepherds/Acadiana in Maurice. Suttles fish hatchery in MS, Dunn’s in AR, American Sportfish in AL - I’ve bought from these. The out of state hatcheries do make deliveries to Louisiana.

List of licensed suppliers from the LDWF website LINK

Go catch some at the lake and throw them in, then add some bream/shinners.

You don’t have to aerate a 4’ deep pond.

Rent a trackhoe for a month and dig some deep channels in it

Sell the dirt

I use a guy in Hattiesburg named Allen. He has best prices I could find

In the summers that water will become boiling hot and devoid of O2.
