Thanks for the invite Brian. Can I bring the boat lol. Need to find a new fishing technique.

And I would like to see T5. The reason I went with the smaller sized cage is due to the size of the plastic screen I purchased, it is 3' wide and I did not want to mend two rolls together, I was afraid what it might look like when I was done.

I have considered making a round cage using rolled tubbing. I have some time before delivery date so I might find a way of building it for the remaining 2 or 300 cnbg to grow out in.
And Al, you may have a great mind but me, not so much anymore

My reason for the cage is because both times I had Overton's do a survey I seemed to be short on numbers of 2 to 3" cnbg and now as I watch the feeders go off I don't see the 6" cnbg I used to see. Lots of others but not so many in that size range.
What do you guys think when we add fish to an existing pond? If a pond will naturally fill with numbers after two years, do I need to remove some fish to make room for the newly to be added Tp and CNBG?
