I'll have it electrofished as soon as the weather warms up and if my biggest problem is a lot of GSF. Whats the best way to get rid of them besides line and traps? Stock some 6-8" bass and let them eat?
The common theme is that GSF will not provide enough forage for LMB. That being the case, logic would say that LMB should eventually be able to control them. Assuming the original LMB stocked are large enough to not get eaten by the GSF to begin with.
At least I hope that is the case, because I have one old pond in which that is the theory I am proceeding on.
My old pond is only 1 acre and I have trapped and caught hundreds of GSF out of it. Introduced some 12" LMB from my big pond and now the GSF thinning job will be left up to them. Nine acres would be a tall order to try and control by trapping.
