Tossed $100 bucks in the pond....

I was happy to see I still have several SFS and BNM this fall after my spring stocking. In an effort to help get them thru the winter till next spring's spawn, I dropped 10 pounds of FHM into my little puddle in the last week as easy catch diversions for my predator gauntlet to minimize the pressure on my desired forage. I have no idea if 2000 to 3000 FHM will help but I figure it can't hurt! smile My thinking is that I've read lots of posts about how hard it is to introduce a new species to a mature pond and thought I would try using cheap bait fish to "muddy" the water for the predators.

Anybody have any thoughts or experience on using a "diversion" strategy to preserve a species while trying to get it established?
