David I would think about what you said in your other post. Your talking about stocking 25,000 bluegill! Trapping and releasing that many bluegill would be a daunting task for even a team of people helping you. Depending on what your funds are you may be able to build an adjacent forage pond and stock it with bluegill. That would be alot easier than transporting them everywhere. I'm not sure the exact numbers bluegill typically spawn at, but I'm sure you could get several good spawns per year in Cal. This may be a project that takes alot of time. So maybe a couple small forage ponds(less than an acre) and culling skinny bass might slowly get the fishery back on track.
