Some observations and a question. My pond is down 5 feet (6 feet before the recent rain) due to the drought conditions in Texas. I began feeding bluegill a week ago and they are already very active. During feeding I have noticed a conspicuous lack of midsized 3-6" BG. The large ones appear in great numbers and seem to be in good shape (stout/healthy). There are also numerous larger fry (not sure which species) near the waters edge but I have seen few tweeners out there. The LMB that I've been catching/culling are stout regardless of length. The largest of the LMB seem to have fared particularly well in these conditions.
I am wondering if there is anything out of the ordinary I should be doing from a management perspective in response to such a dramatic draw down? I've been thinking it may be a good idea to intensify the culling of these thick midsized LMB but I'm not sure. Any thoughts?
