Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Saugeye info

My main interest is in crowd control during the colder months, when everything else's feeding requirements slow down. Being they're sterile I'll know how many are there and can try to fish them out come spring.

Kind of reverse psychology when thinking about stocking tilapia. Instead of restocking TP every spring for forage, which I don't need, I'd be stocking a temporary predator in the fall, which may or may not survive the summer, but still offer excellent table fare, and still feed heavy on those YOY and late spawn fry. My understanding is they tend to feed a lot at night, so shorter days of light should be a non-issue. Come spring they should be big enough to harvest.

Edit: Anyone know what the gape on a 12" Saugeye is??
