Great ape -- the pond where the PKS overpopulated is a very steep sided gravel pit. Also very clear. It does have some Chara (musk grass) around the perimeter in summer, but that dies back in fall when smallies should really be on the feed bag. If the SMB were going to control the PKS in any of the ponds we manage, I thought it would be there! We find the PKS here to be multiple spawners just like the bluegill. Maybe our experience is different from yours?
