So if those are regular bg I need to have a plan. I was going to stock some SMB in the next few weeks but they are pretty pricy so I don’t want to buy and then kill off immediately . In your opinion will I be better off killing everything now and starting over? If I still did smallmouth (and maybe some Hsb if I can figure that out). How many same sex lmb would I need to help keep numbers in check. I’m not looking for trophy class of any fish. I would like to eat perch/bluegill a few times a year but provide the kids with fun fishing and swimming. I don’t want a bunch of stunted bg nipping swimmers. If I just stick SMB how many years do you think it would be before I had all just stunted bg? If it’s 6-7 years than I may just go that route and add lmb or kill it off then. If it’ll only be a few years then I’d rather just start over now.
