What can I do to have a thriving bluegill pond?

[Mark Allen]

What a great supplement to Pond Boss! My favorite fish to catch and eat are bluegill and crappie. One of my ponds[1 acre] is 9 years old and seems to have a good mix of different size bass and all sizes of bluegill to about 7".
My new pond[1-acre, filled in April 2007] I stocked in April 07 with about 125 bluegill from the older pond and 500 res and 50 cc. I would really like to manage this pond for eating size bluegill and would appriciate any advice on how to achieve this. I'll try to attach some pics of a few bluegill I stocked.
