What if I have the boys over the next four to seven years fish as many and trap as many bluegill out? Can we manage the bluegill to the point of extinction? If I can get four or seven years of good perch growth then drop in some walleye or large mouth bass.
Cheers Don.
I would certainly consider this. The others here can add detailed pros/cons of this, and also alot of different reading here in past posts. You want fun fishing for kids, and you certainly will have alot of fish for that, but another fun thing for the kids to get involved with would be trapping/netting and sorting those out. Be prepared for that extra work, some wouldn't be up to it. Keep in mind if you go that route, habitat in the pond has to accomodate being able to do it. Just can't start throwing in stuff without any considerations. Research, research, research....
I don't think you could fish enough to control them.

Bill has come thru again!!!! My typing response took to long.
