Can anyone help me, im looking to buy a couple small bass to stock our new farm dam.
Is there anywhere in the EL area that sells them or how can i go about it?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

hi there

im no expert but iv read that when stocking a new farm dam (if its a new dam with no fish) you should start with kurper fingerlings and keep them for about two years (so they bigger than the bass and are able to spawn) before stocking bass fingerlings...

i also read that all dams with big bass have both carp and barble but those are bigger dams.

This is so there is a constant food source for the bass and so the dam is not filled with only bass...iv fished a couple of bass dams lately which only have bass and they have a huge stock but they all very small with big mouths....

this always sounds exciting!1

1. did u get a permit?

2. get the food source, kurper works well and let  them settle in for a yr or so!

3 get the bass, either from another dam or buy from up north, suggestion is to buy fingerlings from diff dams so u get a healthy and resistant strain.

take some pics

p.s how big is ur dam?
