Ryan, yeah, I had lurked here for quite a while but registered after you mentioned it. Lots of good info hear and at this time Im going to stay clear of the shad and try to induce a BG and BC pond with channels and HST instead of Largemouth. ( Id have went with Blue cats but they are not available in Ohio unless I buy 10+ lb fish from pay ponds.) With the weather, there hasnt been any work done on the pond in over 8 weeks now... very frustrating!!
