I tried seining again this fall to cull some of the small CC but it didn't work well. Most likely due to not baiting the area as well as the times before. I need to continue to assess the situation and modify what I want kept and what I want removed, but as of now the plan is to seine in the spring and fall to remove CC under 5 lbs.
Although I'm wondering with my feeding and some other changes I've made in my pond if my carrying capacity has increased significantly and I should just leave the smaller CC to be taken by rod n reel. I'll probably let relative weights decide that for me.
