If that is the case, maybe their issue is one of water-quality and not bass reproduction and adding all those bass won't ameliorate the issue.
I also wonder what effect the weed harvesting has on the LMB population. Logic would say that the fry are inhabiting the same shallow water and may get caught up in the harvesters?
