Thanks for the input so far.I suspected that we needed to keep more bass.Its hard for me because they are my favorite to catch and observe.I have a few ponds around I can stock with these fish,and fried bass arent bad!I havent been keeping ' gills, which is hard,cause I love em fried.Tilapia are a possible option.A friends pond is full of them.Kind of concerned that they might take over.But Ill look into that option.
Sounds like getting the bass population down is the first step on the road to my goals for the lake.Then,looking at increased forage base.
