Thanks for all your input guys... i plan to start a new thread with the full survey results in a week or two so I can keep a record of progress throughout this journey. It is def a lot to learn but I know its possible with a little work. I am working on getting a feeder set up but we currently feed the catfish from the same spot so in feeding the BG i am worried they may just migrate to the other feeders. I am going to start taking some out as I go but father-in-law wants to keep them if at all possible. I know they compete with the bass for forage but at the moment is just something i am gonna have to deal with
