Just an add on to an already good thread. Seining , partial rotenone , or otherwise disturbing BG beds just after the spawn will reduce BG recruitment. Trapping works on the small BG. I suggest if one wants a SMB pond to use FH , GSH , and SMB. Problem with that is you only have one species to fish for. RES would help and next I would attempt YP (not in the south though).
