Ok, random question.
So the plan to establish a more balanced fishery with a little more weight on the bass (a few in the 2-3lb range would be great, so far have only seen one of these out of all the times i have fished there, although i have heard reports of a few more).
One thing i noticed this weekend was the ridiculous amount of blugill. Rained horribly on saturday, and on sunday, the gills were all up close to shore. Minnow traps were chalk full of baby gills, and if you use small bait, you can hardly keep the gills off the hook.
I might be crazy, but since most of the gills are much to large to feed a bass (or a pike for that matter), would it be a good idea to remove a day's worth of gills via hot dog fishing? You guys are the experts, but with so many bluegill, is it effecting the carrying capacity for the other fish? Absolutely not stunted, i can tell you that. A lot of gills very well grown, many smaller ones too, a good range of them.
