I don't have a dog in this fight but I found the data intriguing. Comments?


I wonder if the "Palagic Nature" of small BCP would help feed the tarpon in my pond., I feel the CNBG and tilapia hug the shallows. IF they had a more open water fish they might fatten up some. Do small BCP tend to swim more out in the open water than either TP or cnbg?

sorry if this is a hijack,

it still relates to controlling crappy, :-)
Bobby my crappie are all over the pond, I catch them close to the surface in 15' water with no structure under them, so I know they like open water- at least in my puddle
