As of right now we have no plans to add any LMB, would rather have the SMB and kind of planned the structure and depth of the pond more towards trying to help make them sustainable.

We will be catching and eating the bulk of the walleye as they get big and adding young ones to replace, also will be removing crappie year round hopefully for many fish fries. The walleye and hybrid white bass are just to keep young crappie and red ears from getting out of hand, along with the family harvesting bream.

I would like to be able to have the FHM and shiners reproduce annually as a good forage base.

Has anyone bought shiners overnight from Andersons Fish Farm? I’ve seen a few YouTube vids and it looked pretty easy to get them live delivered. Probably going to order a couple boxes of them this week.
