So CJBS, the small YOY BG probably have NO chance of reaching any significant size before they are consumed?
I've seen bass busting in the shallows and I assume they are feeding on these small fish.
So from what I've read when placing cover for the YOY BG it should be in just 1-2' of water and thick? I'm thinking some pine limbs wired to a few pallets should help for the BG and the PVC trees sound great for the bass.
I read that there should be only about 15% of the lake in cover, why only 15%?
Thanks for the replies.
Most of the YOY BG will be eaten, however a few will survive and grow much faster with little competition. That is why you have large BG in your pond...
1'-3' for cover is great for YOY BG. Also sink some cover deeper, in 8'-10'. Your ideas sound fine.
As far as the 15% cover... It all depends on your goals.
