P.S. You need to scrounge around for any information on the bass size structure, and condition, or angling catch rates, and then document this case history in Pond Boss magazine!! I'd be glad to help in any way I could with analysis, figures, writing, etc. I just think we need some documentation on these good management strategies. Of course, that's the scientist and teacher in me. smile


It's just the eager student in me! I agree 100% with the esteemed Dr Willis that we need more research performed on TM/Esox as pond management tools. Been a lot of debate on the forum, but I don't think much of it to this point has been grounded in practical, hand's on experience. This is valuable stuff!
