Thanks Walt!
I'll check out the dam area and see if I can locate some bigger gills.
My goal is for big bass and that is the reason I was thinking of going heavy on the BG cover until they have a chance to grow.
I've started removing the bass, I just need to get more forage for the bass established.
I've actually caught several small bass while they were schooling on the surface and was wondering what they would be feeding on out in the middle of the pond? Are the YOY BG venturing out over the deeper water?
The links Eric provided were great reading, once I learn my way around the site better hopefully I'll be able to find the answers without bothering you guys with questions previously addressed.
Thanks for the patients!
