Yeah I have definitely noticed bass ponds around here that have Shad that are too big for almost any bass to eat. We have introduced golden shiners but was just looking for some opinions on gizzard Shad if the goal is to grow giant bass beyond the five or six pound mark. Don’t want to mess up a pond that is producing quality fish but really want to do anything in our power to enhance the fishery. There aren’t any flatheads in the lake as we have shocked and applied rotenone when the pond was barely full and saw none. Thanks for your input!
