Central Alabama lake, 80 acres, 6.5 miles of shoreline, depths of 40 feet in several places, 16 years old with CNBG and LM that show very good relative weights.

Am working on a budget for our lake in 2019 and aside from lime, fish food, fertilizer etc. we have in the past purchased crawfish and shad to add to our fish diet. Last winter was very cold for the shad and we feel we may need a restocking. The problem is we can't do both due to cost. Last year we stocked 2600 lb of crawfish, when we stock shad we usually put in three loads.

Should we concentrate on bringing our shad population up or stick with the mudbugs?

Many thanks and Happy New Year!
