Bill alerted me to this thread. After wades post not much more to add other than I agree with his statements. Trader if you would like a second opinion lets us know however based on what SEPM has told you seems like your ready for GZ shad. Everything you read about the potential issues is true. However we do not see as many issues as much as touted.

It all goes back to goals. I tell clients when u get tired of catching 6 lb bass time to step it up with GZ. We just got back from Nashville meeting at the southern division AFS and there was a poster presentation on selective rotenone for Removal of GZ and the toxicity gap is big for most other sportfish species. I'm all for it if you have a well established big bass population. We shock lots lakes and there is not doubt much higher percentage of large bass where GZ reside.
