Rethink the air pump on the island. Make sure it is the best location. You likely only need to aerate the bottom 1/2 of the pond which is likely the deepest section?.

SMB at 12"+ should eat a lot of creek chubs. Good trapping techniques could remove many more. The chubs are likely all spawning at the creek mouth or in near areas upstream.
