BOB-O, thanks. Will start researching forage base more. Surprised to hear about the YP success, I often hear people say (and read in the magazine once or twice) that you really need several acres with varying depth for YP to do well - and maybe that is generally true without careful management.
And yes, I will absolutely be aerating.
I guess this all brings me to a more refined question, though -- do I have to make a decision between LMB and YP??
In other words, will LMB trample on my chances of successfully raising YP by overfeeding and preventing any spawning YP from reaching maturity?
