I have issues with a GBH as well. He's got the timing down with the feeders, haven't seen him feed except when they go off and fish are abundant and unwary.

A fence should work, as GBH won't land in the water. They insist on walking from land into shallows, so a physical barrier to this will complicate their life. Also, steep shorelines help.

If you have a feeder, try to place it where the pellets fall into deep water and are pushed away from shore by prevailing winds. The GBH never tries his luck from the dock feeder, as it is over deeper water.

Some have had luck with GBH replicas (they are highly territorial) or even fake gators, but eventually they wise up.
