thank you so much Bill Cody. i am copying your post to put on our community page to try and convince people to listen to the advice from not only myself, but from the lake management company i have reached out to and will be giving a seminar in the very near future. Still have some folks that believe the only good strategy is catch and release, even when the fishermen are reporting too many small bass and not any bluegill, with very limited decent bass.
i have also been pointed the residence to this group to try and educate them on proper lake and pond management.
