Pond is 1/3 acre and very healthy with aeration. I have Perch, LMB, crayfish and bluegill in it. So as we get going this spring I can see im out of balance. I have a bunch of juvenile LMB. They are like 8+ inches and are traveling in schools. I see no little bluegill, just a few males that are too big for the bass to eat. There are a few bigger LMB, but not that many. So I put 2000 FHM in and they are gone. All of them. I watch these LMB hunt them in a pack style and it appears they gobbled them all up. At $80 per 1000 we gotta do something. Here are some pictures of them. I even pellet feed them. You will see in the pictures the minute the pellets hit the pond they come running. Im not there enough to feed them daily. I am also looking at getting a feeding timer for when im gone. My father in law has a pond a short distance away and he said I can fish all the blue gill I want out of it and put them in. Maybe to help the spawning. What do you think. I really dont want to take them out, the kids love watching them. i just want to help the balance. These guys are eating everything!!
