Please give your advice ,thoughts and suggestions regarding the following experiment I am doing on a 16 acre bass/BG/RE lake in central Miss. , which has a balanced population but where bass aggressiveness is decreasing. The lake is fertilized but BG have not been artificially fed. The lake contains northern , florida and F1 and subsequent cross generations of LM bass all ages and sizes [6 in. to 15 lbs.], and BG/RE. BG are both regular and coppernose. I have blocked off a cove [2000 sq ft] with a blocking net and removed [driven out] all bass and BG over 3 inches. Water is between 0 - 5 feet deep inside blocked area. Next week I will put in 800 3-5 inch CNBG which are feed trained. They will be kept there untill June to grow and spawn and will be fed via feeders. They will be released in June [ net raised]. Between now and Oct. we will reduce the 10-12 inch bass population in the lake and then add 8 inch tiger bass at a rate of 10 per acre . The net will then be lowered , fish driven out and 2 inch BG/RE placed behind the net. No small bass will be harvested between Oct. and the next spring spawn . The idea is to increase the aggressiveness of all bass by making them compete with the tiger bass which will by then have spawned and added their genes to the mix of bass genetics . Wish me luck .
