Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose A Good Predator for Small LMB

The cull takes a couple of years (about 3) to have much effect. I had the same problem 5 years ago in my 8 acres. I culled 20+ lbs per acre at Greg's suggestion for three years. My lmb have since gone from 75%RW to most now being over 100%. The small bass eat up the spinner baits and also hit the small plastics well. I set a 16 in. slot that I still maintain today. Now I take out 10-12 lbs per acre and last year caught 2 over 7 lbs and numerous in the 3-5 lb range. My tagging shows good growth, where before I had little to no bass over 12 inches. I'm looking forward to another shocking from Greg sometime later this year to re-confirm the success of the fun but time consuming work of the very necessary cull.
