A classic pond mgt concept here for all to note.

Many years ago Prof Swingle proved that a method for assessing ponds was to watch the prey base to determine the status of the predators. For example if there are few 3 inch BG then the number of 10+- inch LMB is overcrowded. This is the base test principal for all electroshock and seine surveys.

So anthropic has identified what is seen in his pond - moving toward BG balance. I bet that the electro survey will show the LMB RW improving and the LMB structure more balanced. The trick then is to use the history of the steps taken and results and apply that going forward to get where he wants.

Nice work anthropic !!
