Todd O', What are your thoughts about pressure being taken off the bluegill base and thus actually improving it? If that is true, and I don't see why not, it appears that even with enhanced predator growth, my bluegill base should be supportive of it; even without tilapia restocking. If it wouldn't really work, I may have to eat more fish or quickly get more tilapia. At least the damn bass should get easier to catch if they're hungry.

It sounds like my biggest concern should still be increased biomass coupled with evaporation caused drawdown and resulting DO problems.

Heck, I have 2 one acre ponds. I'll probably try one of them. If it doesn't work, it'll just be another of my experiments resulting in more character building.
