Greeting, brand new member from West Central Ohio here, 3/4 acre escavated 12ft pond about 75% done.
Question is about adding Gizzard Shad to the mix of LMB, BC and RES ( along with GS and FHM for baitfish)and a handful of either Blue or Channel Cats.
General public says dont do it, but several with some know how have suggested they would not spawn very well and since Im looking for them to also be castnetted by me to use for river catfishing baits, Im sure I can keep them in control.
Any thoughts? No running water, escavated pond out of all clay/silty loam area. All runoff filling pond will be clean pasture grass so no pesticides of any type will be involved.

Thanks, Salmonid
