Hey Farmall,
I've seen several folks post that once they introduce BG/CNBG into ponds with established GSF that they will eventually reduce the GSF herd substantially. Have you seen any signs of that yet in your pond?

Farmallsc my wife usually fishes for CC conventionally with a baited hook laying on the bottom (she likes to knit better than she likes to fish, so she can knit while she fishes for CC that way). I rarely do that type of fishing because it is way too boring. I instead fish for BG with a small jig and very tiny bait. I like action. I catch as many CC fishing for BG as she does fishing for CC. But she gets infinitely more knitting done than I do.

Hey Farmall,
I've seen several folks post that once they introduce BG/CNBG into ponds with established GSF that they will eventually reduce the GSF herd substantially. Have you seen any signs of that yet in your pond? No Bill, my GSF still way out number by BG. However; I believe that most of the BG I put in, were quickly consumed right along with the 5# of FHM. I could be wrong, but that's my gut feeling. My pond is real low and I need some rain. We've gotten just enough to keep things from getting real bad. On a positive note the CC have taken over the pond and act like their the Bull of the Woods. They are getting nice sized too.

But she gets infinitely more knitting done than I do. I'm with you, I like action. The CC seem to jump on the line. I changed the type and the size of bait, went with a small BG hook and I still catch a lot of the CC too. Oh yeah, as far as the Tilapia go, I never saw or caught one out of the pond. I guess they did their job, but I was sure planning on putting a few in the freezer.
