James lots of our forage is eaten every year but we do have good recruitment of BG and RES and LMB. I use the blocking net mostly to augment the existing fish. We can't use tilapia as they are precluded by the state. Instead I raise (growout) small BG from 2 in to 5+ inches from March to Aug. (and their spawn/yoy) inside the net as needed to add forage. I also use the process to add LMB genetics (Flas , F-1 Tiger Bass or Northerns) by raising feed trained LMB from 8 in to 12+ inches the same way. I am thinking about raising HSB the same way as we have a lot of open deep water. That depends on the success of the TShad through this year.
