Question could my BG have ate most/all the LMB fry? Here is what we've been catching. Last edited by Dieselscout80; 10/02/12 11:53 AM. One acre pond built in 2007.

Temp swings pushed them off the beds a few times. Both BG and larger LMB prey on YOY LMB. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

I understand letting the larger LMB eat them is a option or catching them, but one way or another they need to depart our pond. Last edited by Dieselscout80; 10/02/12 04:43 PM.
