The GSF only spawn annually. BG have a rolling, never ending, warm weather spawn. The goal is to match the predator/prey population. It's a worthy goal but is tough to pull off without management.
Lots of people want a self sustaining pond. The only way I know to do that is channel cats, feeders and some long seines. Get them out at 2 to 3 pounds and restock 8 inch ones. They will spawn but the progeny seldom survives predation.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
