Looking back I can see my initial mistake with respect to my forage base. I think a further set back was that the BC that went in at the time were only 1-2" (125).I then put in another 25 BC that were 4-6". The LMB were 4-6" and CC 6-8". Other than my feeding and a limited spawn from the few larger BC, I probably went a whole summer without building a base. TJ your right about the size of my predator fish. The LMB are easily doubled in size as well as the CC and the fhms arent lasting long at this rate. Im starting to call around and see about getting a hold of some PS. Hopefully, the BC will spawn this year, im not sure how many GSF are in there but they are big enough to spawn and it sounds as if I should be looking at several hundred PS perhaps? I like to avoid BG in there if I can.

Thanks for all the insight. Heres a few pics
