I don’t like to cull bluegills unless there are too many. If you do it selectively it’s hard to make a difference. A predator needs prey that is 1/4 to 1/3 it’s size.It’s a matter of energy expended vs calories obtained.

It is said that the best cattleman is a grass farmer. Thus the best bass raiser will concentrate on the prey base. Could you have an imbalance?

What part of Texas? Why? It rains in East Teas; not so in West Texas.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
