Removing Bluegill - 06/01/17 05:13 PM
I recently read an article that said for every 1 bass you catch and remove, you should also remove 7-8 med - large bluegill. Is this correct?
I understand that you can have bluegills that can grow too big for most bass to eat, but I was under the impression that these large bluegill will lay more eggs than smaller bluegill which in turn provides more food for the bass.
If my pond ever comes to a point where there is too many large bluegill and not enough smaller bluegills to feed the smaller bass, I think the better solution would be to add a large bass to the pond.
