How will WE help? They will eat smaller BG and LMB. Supplimental YP stockings will be hopefully too large for significant WE (16"-20") predation. I'm not sure WE are better predators of BG compared to LMB. Stocking a few WE (8"-10") IMO would not have a big negative on the fishery, unless the WE are eating a good number of small (2"-4") LMB instead of BG. Again we are dealing with predator beghavior and prey body shape.
Yes removing the larger LMB and maintaing numerous small (4"-10") LMB will put heavy predation pressure on BG. Stocked YP (7"-9") would basically be free from bass predation unless you have a couple "old smarty pants" bass.
PS: Cecil is at least temporarly resigned from this Forum. He did not think he was treated fairly nor justly by the moderators. His presence and input is missed.
