As are seining and trapping depending on species and size you need to remove. One thing you can do with a seine is to remove your next problem ( the 2-3 in. yoy LMB after the spawn). It is much easier to take out 200 yoy LMB than catching 50 of them a year from now. Shoreline rotenone application to LMB beds is also a method but it should be left to the experts once they have the data to gauge population status.

Because it is possible to take out to many LMB (not often done in the south) it is crucial that you learn how to do a pond balance assessment. To few LMB leads to to many BG which leads to BG stunting and possible 0 LMB recruitment. This is more common up north but can also occur in the south.
