As time passes, I am more and more convinced that our HSB have controlled recruitment of BG as well as LMB.
No small tilapia observed as well.
Last year I could not trap or catch any BG under ~5 inches or LMB under ~15 inches.
I�ll do more trapping this spring to convince myself, but with this year�s 5-year-old HSB crop, with annual stocking �ladders�, I believe the overpopulation problem of BG and LMB has been solved.
We�ll see.
We are producing CNBG over 11 inches and approaching ~ 1.5 lbs.
Don�t know why it won�t work with crappie.
