The YP are all wild from Pymantuning Lake not too far from here. I did not plan on pellet feeding. I have a "maybe" line on some fingerling SMB but no source as of yet for anything larger. If I can get the smallies I will also get some more FHM. I have not seen many FHM since I put them in - I was wondering if the BG cleaned up on them already? The biggest BG that went in was 7-8". I caught one in August that was over 10".
Would 100 fingerling smallmouth be about right? along with 10lb of FHM just to keep the perch off the smallies?
No doubt I will be "behind the forage curve" for a couple of years. Hopefully the larger YP will help keep some control of both the panfish and the additional YP. There is a bit of brush and logs along with rocks and plants. I will watch for YP ribbons and BG nests in the beach and see if I can be an additional control.
