so heres an update on the fishing. to date, we have harvested a total of 64lbs of LMB (121 total fish), so average is a little under .5 lbs. we released 7 fish ranging from 3.5 - 5.0 lbs. we are aiming at removing 300 bls of fish or ~600 total of our average size. we are making progress, but this is work. it started as fun, but not anymore.
We caught 2 crappie today. i saw a large school of fry and assumed they were crappie since i havent seen any bream or bass beds, and the fry were in deep water.
i am still waiting on soil sample report to come back
i have a couple of questions for the experts.
1. will the LMB that are stunted gain weight or will the new generation be the large growing fish when there is enough food.
2. can a small pond sustain a healthy bluegill population with crappie and LMB?
3. would it be okay to electrofish this pond to remove the biomass?
thanks jb
pics of the fish uploading soon.
