I went with what the supplier recommended on that initial stocking and got the HBG. I think you are right about the GSF coming in with the HBG. I didnt know about this site at that time. Once I figured out what should be done I went ahead and added the BG so I would have adequate forage for the LMB. The HBG and their offspring havent really been much of a problem. The fish are getting to the size I like them for filleting so anything not straight BG goes in the frying pan. BG and CNBG go back in the water. We're a family of 4 and we just cant get enough of the fresh fish. Once a week we pig out on
sunfish and an occasional cat.
I didnt think I had a spawn yet from the BC or LMB. In Oct '09 we put in 3 inch LMB and the BC were only about 1.5 in. Would they have spawned last year? I was thinking this would be the first year for both to spawn.
I have to tell you, I'm a member of the forum over at Crappie.com and I dont know if there can ever be an overabundance of 8-10" BC.I know what you're getting at but in my mind I'm seeing Crappie Paradise out my back door.
