To Norm Kopecky: Norm, could you give some more details about the size/depth of your lake, and the presence of underwater structure (like what the bottom is made of)?
I've recently stocked SMB in my lake that has an existing LMB population. My lake is mostly silt bottom and ranges from 3-5' to over 15' depth, and around 7 acres. I've been creating a lot of rock beds which crayfish have taken to, and am putting in more. I'm really trying to make sure I have areas where the SMB will spawn (as well as feed on crayfish).
