Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Culling bluegill??

Thanks to everyone for this post & particularly the 2002.

I thought I was just struggling with a LMB overpopulation: skinny LMB RW 75%, No exceptional LMB, & can't catch anything below 12". After reading the above, I realize that I also have a Bream problem: 2" bream are almost non-existent, few 3-5", & the majority in the 6" and above range. I have been feeding the bream hoping for an exceptional Apr to Oct spawn from large BG in good condition.

It appears my time would be better spent removing all females caught above 9" & all CNBG in a slot of 6-9". They are as much fun as LMB to catch but I hate cleaning CNBG, though eating them is a different story.

I enjoy my Deeper castable sonar, as that what it was telling me; lots of medium size fish & very few small fish that is your problem. Perhaps a ratio of 10 6" & above to every 4" & below bream seen on the sonar.
