are you concerned about the gizzard shad becoming to big and abundant in your pond?
I'm not concerned about these gizzards becoming too big or too abundant because; - I stocked only 2 dozen with all but 2 being 6" and smaller - The LMBs are large enough to eat all 2 dozen gizzards
True it is a risk because maybe the LMBs won't find the gizzards or the gizzards will super reproduce or something, but I think the gizzards if not gone already will be gone before Summer is up. The water clarity makes it difficult for their bright shiny scales to hide in our pond.
I dropped the gizzards in to give the bass a different type of meal - shape and taste.
