My problem....bluegills are very aggressive and constantly peck at anyone swimming anywhere in the pond. My wife and daughters want my babies gone :-(

I am assuming this is an over-population and lack of predator (not afraid of anything) issue.

Looking for advice.

Maybe time to introduce some 8-10in LMB??
Also planning to remove as many BG females as possible.



I'd still wait until the fall to add your predator fish.



Curious as to why?
