esshup, Yes we have electroshock survey once each year and our expected weights on CNBG are at or above what they should be.
George, great idea for keeping the brood stock clean, however our logistics would be difficult at best with a 75 acre lake 11 feeders and a half dozen Bass fishermen that could care less about fishing for Bream. Our first stocking of CNBG came 10 years ago and we restocked 30K 2 years ago. Our fishermen look at CNBG as a food source for Bass. Personally I love to catch 2 lb + Bream on a light fly rod, not to mention their filets rolled in cornmeal and fried in peanut oil is as good as it gets! Cheers!
