1/2 Acre 5th year in south Texas. LMB, CNB, TP, 1 GC. The TP and GC have eliminated my FA and any other plant in the pond (So far) At first I was mad at the GBH etc that indiscriminately "culled" my fish (although I do still strongly discourage Water Turkeys) . I came to realize that I don't cull, I take my Grand-kids fishing and It's easier to just throw them back and enjoy the kids catching more. My TP typically over winter. I have decided that since my Christmas tree cover is deteriorating that I'm not going to replace it. My theory is if I keep my cover to 5-10% The predators will be able to keep the numbers down therefore less feed and less fish less chance overpopulating?
