Over the year so far we have discovered we have catfish in pretty good numbers it would appear along with crappie. These all came from the creek before we put up the levy to make sure we don't gain unwanted fish, or lose what we have stocked.
Not only are the bass eating the BG but so are the other two species mentioned.
All i know to do is fish it as much as possible and remove unwanted fish every trip we fish.
I thought about in the spring instead of spending money on thread fin, just hire Mike at southeastern pond, to shock up as many as possible in an afternoon and see how it looks. An electrofishing boat could get 10 times as many as me putting several boats out there for a day.
Remove predators and add bait from the hatchery pond is all I know to do?
If you truly want to eliminate all unwanted predators, your best bet will be to do a pond draw down, kill the existing fish, and start over.
