Well, to get things kicked off this year, my assessment would be that my HSB are fat and happy and HBG recruitment seemed to be minimal last year. I am thinking that I should put some HSB in this year to account for the few that I might soon harvest or damage during the catch.

I believe the balance for this year is good. Should I be thinking about next year's balance and make an installment this year? If so, any thoughts on the quantity of 4-6 inchers?

Fish on!,
