Thanks so much for that detailed input! Let me try to focus more.
1. What should I do with those 2 or 3 big bass? The obvious option is out, my in-laws don't eat fish. Yeah, I know. I guess I could have a fish fry and see if I can tempt them.
2. I can buy 1" to 3" bass from that local vendor. Should I do that to intro LMB to the TP? If so, when should I intro them and how many?
3. What about all the small BG in the FP? Should I basically remove them all? If so, is releasing them into the TP the thing to do to build the BG food chain.
4. What about forage quantity in the TP? There were pre-existing minnows (species unknown); plus the 2lbs of FHMs and 100 BG minnows I released in late April. Is that enough or should I stock more? On my last trip (2wks ago) we added 5 or 6 small BGs and 3 of spawning size (didn't do a sex check). I'll be there in November. Should I add anymore BG minnows or FHM?
I guess that's enough for this round, my old brain can only absorb so much. Thanks.
