2007 CNBG Pond Plan
My thanks and appreciation goes to Condello, Cody, and Baird for a thorough education in the propagation of BG, and informed and advised on the identification of CNBG by Overton and Ewest, I am now prepared to take the next GIANT step.
Our pond has a healthy population of a mix of large Florida and Arkansas CNBG genetics. The logical plan is to “copycat” the path of Bruce Condello, on the management of our pond for preservation of optimum CNBG brood stock.
Since it is common to catch numerous BG daily in the 6 –11 inch range, the plan will be to preserve BG with predominate “chunky” CNBG characteristics, and harvest 6 – 9 inch female BG that do not reflect dominate Florida strain CNBG traits.
Comments, suggestions, and advice sincerely solicited.
