I'm curious... Do you pellet feed or dump FHM"s during the year? I put 10 lbs of FHM in the spring and another 10 lbs+ in early Oct. Plus I feed pellets 3-4 times a week.
I didn't do tilapia this year (for a reason) and have a lot of younger BG and LMB due to the weed build up. My predator fish are going to be a lot bigger next fall after the tilapia return (hopefully).
I'm hoping the "tilapia every-other year" approach puts more food in their bellies. Next year, there will be a lot less cover and more available food for my predators. Non tilapia years, fish (predators) will be harvested more.
But who knows, It might work and might not. Just an idea I thought I'd give a chance.
