Interesting thread. I am in a similar situation as Dinsmore, my pond is smaller but has crawfish, FHM and 1-2 BG added this fall. I was planning on putting in 35-40 LMB but have almost changed my mind and am strongly considering HSB since they should be easier to maintain.

Either way, I have been told pros and cons on GSH and still have not made up my mind. My goal is a healthy BG pond with fewer but larger bass. I thought the added GSH would help protect the BG from over predation. Would it be correct to consider just adding more BG fry now to jumpstart them?

3/4 Acre South Georgia Pond, 1,500 BG/RES; LMB coming soon
