In any case, the spring of the year represents the very best time to quickly and efficiently reach your harvest goals for the year. Monitor Weed Growth Nuisance aquatic weeds also enjoy a period of rapid growth in the spring months. In most cases, early detection and treatment of potentially problematic weed growth goes a long way toward preventing a chronic problem later in the year. Certain types of weeds, filamentous algae for example, are very common in the early spring. In many cases, the most effective treatment strategy may be an aggressive fertilization program.
Most aquatic weeds require intense direct sunlight to grow and multiply.
Filtering the sunlight from the bottom by creating a dense plankton bloom maybe all that is required to discourage weed growth. Other types of weeds, however, may be more persistent. If new or unusual weeds begin to appear you should consult a qualified biologist to have them identified and devise a control strategy. Providing a supplement to the diet s of bluegill and other forage fish is a particularly productive strategy for growing large bluegill as well as increasing the abundance of forage for bass. Typically, results of regular feedings are observed within the first year in the form of bigger, healthier bluegill.
