ML10 - Do you have any indication of how many bluegill are present that are last year's hatch being actual measure of 1.5"-2.5" long?? Do you set fish traps to get ideas of what the actual bluegill measured sizes and percentages are in the various BG size groups?
Bill, FWIW, I love this question. The sizes of BG you mention are ideal (IMHO) for LMB of the size ML10 removing.
IMO, it would be a great exercise to monitor BG size distribution and and LMB RW. RW probably lags peaks of ideally sized prey by 2 to 4 weeks but these kinds of metrics could be beneficial for understanding that dynamic.
