MR - With your feeding schedule and type of food, you should see 7"-8.5" maybe a few 9" BG by the end of this summer providing you have good broodstock. Fall 2011 expect some 10" BG. A total of 300-400 lbs of total BG per acre is very realistic. With aeration and good feeding the total could be around 500lbs/ac with an allowable annual harvest of 50-80 lbs/ac. I would slot harvest the BG of 7"-8.5" and females; releasing 8.75"-9"+ males. Others are very welcome to advise.
