Fishhead,

You didn't say anything about actually catching the BG's. You need to go BG fishing and catch a bunch. I think your answers will come to you while fishing for them!

If they seem very hungry and bite endlessly, that is a good sign they are overpopulated. Also look at the condition of the BG's. If they're slim and light for their length, overpopulation is likely.

You DID say you caught quite a few bass, so your situation must not too bad, if indeed there's a problem at all.
