Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Just How Many Bluegill will a Bass Eat a Day?

Dang! I thought HSB were everywhere in the South. IMO it wouldn't have to be HSB. If you wanted to pursue a stocking plan like this, is there a non reproducing predator that is available to you?

I have successfully controlled LMB from over population in my little pond so far (knock on wood) using YP, WE, SMB and CC as predators of the apex LMB predator spawn. My primary forage is PS and BG. I'm entering year 4 and so far so good. Definitely not a stock and walk away management plan though. Need to monitor what's going on closely and make adjustments as required.
