    Yeah they went from 18,000 per foot to 11,000 per foot because they are eating themselves out of house and home.

    I thought it was pretty well known that they grow to a peak populations and then reduce to a sustainable population.

    If so why was the DNR surprised? They are the experts.

    Just to make it sound good to the media that there AIS control is “making” a difference.

    I suppose that if the DNR had said the ZM pop had doubled, then you would criticize them for that? Personally for me whatever the reason, the population going down is good news and gives Lakeshore associations less shrapnel to blast us with. The river populations have also dropped.

    Just to be clear I didn’t rip anybody………….yet.

    However, rest assured I will be on the next guy that tells me they can control Zeebs with power washers and gates.

    But it didn’t.

    Either way, the DNR has no control over the ZM populations.

    But I’m surprised they are surprised.

    Does that mean they’d be surprised if the SMB population dipped too?
