And, just what is wrong with the dreaded green sunfish?

Lusk once said “ How is a fish that only spawns annually going to compete with bluegills that have rolling(multiple annual) spawns?

How can they cause a problem?

Only one way and I have it in a small 1/4 acre pond that I’ve had for over 40 years. It is now 100% greens but it’s ok with me.
Due to cormorants I have no bass, cats or HSB to balance the bluegills I once had. I don’t live there so I don’t worry about them overspawning and creating an O2 crash. Can’t say that about bluegills.

In this situation I’m a green fan. I go back and toss out feed and occasionally fish for them.


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.
