I've seen you being a douchebag on other boards. We don't tolerate that on the OB. Go run kids off your lawn on the Poli board. Those guys deserve you over there.

Lake Fairfield in Texas is stocked with reds. They have some tagged that have shown up for over 5 years when they electroshock

Buy a few thousand bluegill bream fingerlings now and throw some fish pellets in there weekly



This may be a dumb question but where do I purchase bluegill fingerlings?

Local feedstore likely has a truck come by weekly, if not they can point you in the right direction.

I would go with sterile hybrids as you will have a native bluegill population whether you like it or not.

He is write that is very dangerous. When I was a kid I use to jump in ponds and try to drown myself every chance I got.

LDWF stocked a few ponds at parks around the state a while back with rainbow trout. Wonder if there's any way to get some of those from LDWF. The look on neighborhood dads' faces when their kids come home from fishing a retention pond and bring back trout

Rainbow trout


They only live a short time. Once the water reaches a certain temp, they die.

I was going to put some bass I caught in a nearby lake in our community pond and was informed it was against the law.

Not sure why but I'm in Texas, maybe diseases or something.

I did it anyway :) After dark

Contact LDWF and have them develop a plan for your ponds. Simply dropping fish into the water may not have great success.

That statement is the whole point of the thread. I want to make sure the 8 bass and 6 perch I threw in yesterday will make it.
