I think you need more table WTG!

the electric drum scalers work like a dream.The real key to success with them is to seperate your fish by size a, small medium and large and do them in seperate batches. fish over 9" you can scale about 40, 8.5" and smaller you can load about 50. Also making sure you put the right amout of water in it. You only want to fill the drum up in a fashion that about 1/4" of water is actually in the cylinder. The only messy part about the whole operation is dumping out the 4.5 gallons of black scaley water when your done. But it does leave the fish completely slime and scale free, plus easy to work with.

ok so how long does it take to scale 50 bluegill? how much did you pay? where did you get it?  Thanks

Well I was gonna say the same thing that it seems unneccessary to take 250+ fish out of a lake but if it's like you say then I won't fault you for it.  Here in MN I don't think theres a lake in the state that could handle that type of pressure on blugills, but we have colder water and slower growing panfish. Could the lake you're fishing support that type of harvest from everyone thats fishing it?  I'm just wondering cause if so that must be quite the blugill fishery.

There are a lot of lakes around here that have a couple thousand fish taken from them every week thru our short ice season. I think we have 20x the number of bluegills in our lakes than minn. has. We also  have alot less game fish thus increasing the carrying capacity that our lakes have for pannies. my .02
