Thanks guys, there's a lot of the answers here that I was looking for. But, do you guys think that if spawning occurs, and I fish out enough of the smaller pike then it could work? I don't mind eating pike really, the bones are a nuisance at first by I'm pretty good at removing them now. I would think that GS and YP would be good forage food, they get pretty big, and breed like crazy I hear. I wouldn't want green sunfish, as their not native over in the northeast. Really, any sunfish wouldn't be targeted too often unless they're easy prey if fusiform fish like YP are present. Also, I hear that fathead minnows are really just an expensive snack, and never really last long.
