Well, so far so good. I cant drag a beetle spin across the pond without getting a hit. I am starting to cull bass and bg after being assured the lmb spawned. the hsb seem to be helping with the sized bg that the lmb have outgrown. plus, they are feedhogs as are the F1s..
I agree with Ewest that the Miss. Biologists that post on the forum are ultra cautious in their recommendations due to their experience that most of the ponds will not be managed the least bit.
