Good background information. It will IMO be very interesting and educational to learn what influence the SMB can have to control green sunfish. Smallies might be good predators of greenies (GSF)?.? Lack of shoreline structure may reduce GSF hiding places and help SMB catch the small GSF. With GSF present, I sort of doubt that the SMB will be able to recruit fingerling SMB unless the adults can keep the smaller GSF to minimal numbers, especially the 1"=2.5" YOY to one year old GSF who eat lots of all species of fish fry in spring.
