I viewed the lake chubsucker forum that seemed to end in 2017. I wonder if anyone has a comparison between lake chubsucker and gizzard shad for forage for largemouth bass? Or, between gizzard shad and sunfish as forage for largemouth bass? And, the comparison made for ponds rather than lakes?
Gizzard shad and lake chubsuckers are two different kettles of fish (ha).
Many, many threads on here about gizzard shad. The short story seems to be that gizzards should generally never be stocked in small ponds unless certain conditions are met.
Here's a pond boss mag reprint that talks about it:
