TJ do you plan on adding any artificial habbitat?? Larger sized mabeye?


Pond unfortunately already has too much woody cover for my liking, two creek arms were underwater before they could be cleaned out thoroughly, so they are full of young flooded cedars, ash and cottonwoods. Provides plenty of opportunities for YP to lay egg strands at any rate. I want less cover so my BG population is more easily/readily utilized as forage with fewer places to hide/escape. In my particular fishery less habitat is the way to go.

I do have 80T of limestone points, piles, ridges, etc. built in several places for Crayfish/SMB, but I never fish those areas which is weird. I can catch fish until my fingers bleed sitting on my dock.
