Bruce, my forage/grow-out pond goal continues to evolve.
Since larger HSB stockers are now readily available, there is no need to pursue �growing� out small HSB to avoid predation in main pond�..
I am currently transferring 10-12 inch 2006 class HSB from � acre pond to main 2 acre pond, leaving a few 2#+ 2005 class HSB in the � acre pond to attempt controlling current prolific CNBG spawn.
In attempt to enhance Florida CNBG genetics in main pond, my male only �cull� Arkansas strain CNBG are being moved to grow-out pond. I am removing ALL females caught from small pond.
AQMX 600 feed program � don�t want the small gills to get feed trained, thus the larger pellets.
I am moving all 9 inch+ male Arkansas trait CNBG to small pond BG pond for fun fishin��.
You guys have caused trouble for a guy that once thought BG�s were only bait?...
