I'm in a state of imbalance right now. RW showed that bass needed culling and forage needed increasing. Will sample again in February.
I'd tell a customer to cull first, THEN add the shiners. Why feed any of the bass that you are going to cull?
How many pounds of minnows did you stock? I am sure that they didn't individually count the minnows. 20's are 50 fish per pound, 30's are 26 fish per pound.
