LMB regrets; how to eliminate so I can stock YP & SMB? - 04/25/07 12:59 AM
Love this magazine and forum! Oh how I wish I had found it a year earlier! Hoping you SMB and YP affection ados out there can help before it is too late.
Mid Wisconsin, newer pond 1.25 acre, limestone bottom, limestone lined sides, ave depth 6', one 45x90 17' hole blasted in (rock used for the edges). Two years of stocking FHM (25lbs each time). The problem... Friend offered and I (pre Pond Boss) accepted several LMB. Last year caught several pre-spawn. This year I have seen about 12 including several big momma's. Spawning is probably right around the corner. I am desperate to be rid of them. I have a Fish Farm license so nearly any means could be employed. They will not strike worms or lures. Built a trap last year, but no takers. Any ideas?
Purchased two perch spawn ribbons last Saturday and planted them. Hoping to stock SMB in the fall.
