Thanks for the replies guys. We actually have a biologist helping us with the lake.
We drained down 1/2 the lake last summer and dug it out for better depth. We restocked the lower half of lake with F1's at the recommendations of the biologist. We have a large culvert (8') connect the two sides which is presently screened off.
He has basically told us that while working with quite a few lake owners, that our problem is not uncommon with Florida's, thus the reason for mixing in the F1's. We will remove the screens this summer, and hopefully the F1 and Florida's will present us with a new strain that's easier to catch. That's the plan, anyway.
I am interested in shocking the lake to actually see what we have grown in the last 7 years, and I have been told, that the results will amaze.
Thanks again for the replies.....
