Any of you with experience over longer periods of time that can comment on warnings and cautions for a balanced habitat for BG and Stripers would be much appreciated.
I DO NOT have experience managing that type of pond, but have read a lot of Pond Boss.
I believe your risk is that you will eventually get too many BG. Your original stockers may be trophies, but after that you might be subject to stunting.
I would keep good catch records and make notes on sizes and relative weights. Perhaps start culling the BG you catch that are eating size, but smaller than trophies?
You might benefit from a second top predator. Perhaps some saugeye?
It sounds like you currently have an excellent pond. Do you want to start your own thread and get some advice from actual experts (not me) on keeping it excellent?
