tank to pond

[midnight]

im thinking of putting my bass in my parents pond and getting some more babies.
not a small pond but a real pond,about an acre is my guess.
2/3 of it is shallow,other 3rd is around 20 feet deep.
not sure how low the water temp gets in it.
how should i add them if i do this?
should i start switching there water to the pond water in the tank?
acclimate them for a few hours before?
just chuck them in and say good luck?
thanks in advance for any info.

The way I would do it is bag them in water and then take them to the pond and let them aclimate for a little. But be sure your parents want pbass in their pond and find out how cold that pond gets in all seasons.

my dad wants my aro for the pond.
ya they want them.

and find out how cold that pond gets in all seasons

should i check the shallows or the 20' deep or both?
whats a good way to get a temp 20' down?lol
just drop a thermometer down there for a few minutes?

I see no problem in it.... just as long the temp doesn't fall to far under 80....

If it does, these will become topwater species in a hurry.

im sure it does.i hear older pb are less temp sensitive then small ones.

If it does, these will become topwater species in a hurry.

they might take over the pond too.
