I have the same problem at my parent's 7.5 acre pond in mchenry county IL.
The homeowner's association flat out refuses to do selective harvest. My dad has taken it on his own, and is just dumping stunted bass in the woods behind his house when nobody's looking, but he can't make a big enough dent by himself.
What about a tiger muskie? 2 of those in a 7 acre pond? sound about right? i know i have to keep the biomass down, but they are sterile, right? they'll knock the bass population down long enough for big bass to grow, then they will die out, and the big bass will solve the problem.
anything wrong with my math here?
Trying to help with 7.5 Acres in the Chain of Lakes Illinois - - The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut. Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
