Great advice so far. What do your catch records indicate for numbers of LMB removed PER ACRE in prior years??

HOA angler parties are great for a no public access water body. As incentives,,,, offer prizes for the most bass caught, smallest caught and largest caught. As well suggested, Catch Records are a necessity for best final analysis results and evaluations. Prespawn angling with removals can be beneficial.
Removing numerous bass per acre results in more forage items as less competition for food and then better growth rates or remaining bass. As the average bass sizes increase, in the future you could increase the slot limit to removing all less than 13" and then based later results all LMB less than 14". As the LMB become more hook smart, more creative angling methods improves catch the results.
