Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Self sustaining shiner forage pond

ewest, are you talking about the problem that manifests itself in older GSH that reduces their spawning fecundity?

There is a local lake (365 acres) that has had GSH in it for years and years, probably due to bucket stocking of leftover minnows.

In my pond, there is not enough cover for them to escape LMB predation, even the adults at 9"-10" in length. They don't last a year.
