Description
Redear Sunfish 1 to 3 inch.
Commonly called shellcrackers, these fish do well in ponds and lakes with lots of snails. They generally reach a larger size than bluegill but are a little more difficult to catch. In new ponds, redear can be substituted for up to one-half the usual bluegill stocking rate. To add variety to an established lake 50 to 100, 2 to 3 inch redear can be stocked per surface acre.
Stock Your Pond with Minnows!
As you add larger fish, don’t forget the benefits of minnows! They serve as an essential food source for bigger fish and help maintain a healthy pond ecosystem. We recommend adding 1,000 minnows per surface acre every spring and fall.
