Great job on a detailed packed video. My thoughts of Lathem are the bio possibly changed when the introduction of the Golf Course came around as well as the support the reservoir management team and their efforts. Enjoyed watching men.
One thing I wanted to add here is when you have excessive nutrients coming into a lake. In more fertile areas of the country you can’t fertilize lakes and ponds because there is already excessive amounts of nutrients coming into the water. In this scenario the phytoplankton go wild growing because of the nutrients but too much of a good thing is bad. At night when the plankton starts using oxygen it uses up all the oxygen and fish die. So if you see a lake or pond with dead fish and it’s really green with 1-2 inches of visibility the problem is probably low oxygen at night.
I double checked myself and I was wrong about a statement I made. When discussing overcrowded fish populations I said that gizzard shad and bluegill can release a pheromone to stop reproducing. That is incorrect, I do not see anything in my books where bluegill can stop reproducing. Gizzard shad can stop their reproduction with a pheromone, bluegill can not. Bluegill probably continue to spawn and eat that spawn. Bluegill are ruthless little fish, when hauling them in tanks if they sense weakness in another bluegill they will bite its eyes out. That’s very common behavior for bluegill in tanks. Mean eye biters
Always Great info thanks
Thank you!!
Fish North Georgia loving the new mini cast
I could listen to Shane's voice all day.
Really interesting show. If I ever get a pond or lake I am calling Shan.
Thanks for the interesting information
Glad you enjoyed it! We hope it helps.
