I'm right there with you Bill - and thanks everyone for your input. I notice the SW of the SMB as well - and the thinning perch poplulation - so it seems at this date. I'll reserve any further judgement until Spring 2012. We will be removing some BG this fall during our Annual Bowhunter - Bluegill fish fry weekend. Probably not a lot of 3-4" fish this fall though.
One good thing about a small pond - is that corrections can be made with some effort. LMB won't be going in this fall - but come June - I'll have to make a decision.
