Yolk, so far, each of these fish have been caught on worms, but that action is beginning to slow down. I will definitely try corn on the carp.
Fish_mn, The BH have all been Yellow. I like the idea of embracing the GSF and trying to get some interesting crosses, and working on growing them as large as possible. My wife caught the only GSF out of this pond, and it fought unlike any of the other fish we have caught. This pond is 18' deep at the deepest point, but it gets HOTTTTT here, and I haven't started aerating yet, so I don't think the trout would make it.
My pond has slowly changed from about 12" of visibility down to only an inch or two b/c of all of the stirred up clay in the last couple of months. How will this affect my sight feeding fish (BG, LMB)? I assume it will do me no good to treat it b/c it will just get stirred back up as long as the BH and carp are in there?
In a +/- 1 acre pond with both WC and LMB, if unchecked, who wins the reproduction rate to come out on top? Do BH or BG factor into this from a reproduction rate or forage base stand point?
Last night, I had a large crane posted up by my feeder at feeding time. When I ran him off, he left a fat 1lb BH on the shore behind him. Maybe he's just trying to help me out, haha!
