Some adult LMB will do wonders on the GSF population. So will a seine or traps.
Now that it's confirmed they are GSF, and I do want them out of there... Since I have other plans (longer message to follow)
Right now my GSF plan is this:
1. Immediately get the wife/kids out fishing every day. In just 45 minutes today we caught a large amount of 2-4" GSF that we could have culled. I realize this won't make a huge dent, but it will get some of the bigger ones out of there. Plus, it keeps everyone happy because they are catching fish.
2. Use a net to catch as many as possible from the shoreline. I'm seeing lots of them and I don't think this will be difficult. Other than a good amount of Water Hyacinth (which I'm working to kill back), there is little vegitation.
3. My mother has a 1 acre pond full of stunted LMB, approx 10-12" I've transplanted 10 from her place in total, some of the 10" ones and a few 12-14" from another pond. I caught about a dozen LMB there this Sunday, so I can easily repeat and transport to my pond.
