Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Eating Shinners over panfish ?

While they may like GHS over panfish, I think that panfish occupy more of the LMB's habitat than GHS do. I don't think that LMB will go out of their way to chase down GSH in open water if there are plenty of BG in area that has cover in it where LMB hang out.

There's GSH, YP, BG, RES and PS (and bullheads, crappie, Northern Pike, Common Carp, Gizzard Shad, and just recently White Bass) in a local lake. I've caught both BG and GSH to 10" and there have been 7# LMB pulled out of the lake in the past.
