You are correct, the HSB are my main predator, but my HBG will reproduce to some degree. My hopes are that the HSB will keep the HBG in check along with some HBG culling. I will be using a feeder to balance my food chain as the FHM and Crawdads will not likely keep up their end of the deal long term. I have not figured out what to do exactly as the HSB age and pass, but I should consider ladder stocking some larger-than-fingerling HSB this year and years to come.


Fish on!,
