My hope in option 3 would be that by only adding a small percentage of males is that over time they gradually spawn and resolve the female only restocking issue. But with there being such a small percentage of them it would give the females a few years head start before harvesting became an issue.
The lake has aeration and 6 feeders on it. Running those primarily for the BG but I have a feeling some bass will turn on to it as well.
If I went all female my understanding is about a 20% restock rate annually after the second year? Really leaning away from that route unless folks think its the way to go.
