Let me ask another question, what do you want from the lake?? Peacock? LMB? Large fish? Lots of fish?

When you say links to the canal system, how linked is it? If you started a culling program and removed small and/or skinny bass, would it even matter because more would just be coming in??

(I'm watching a FLW event on ESPN right now from Okeechobee, and darn I want to live in Florida!)
