Dave,
Thank you for the suggestions. I did consider HSB originally before posting my original question. The controllable reproduction is very appealing. I had a few concerns though.
Please correct me if I am wrong, I understand them to be more of an open water fish. Will they go into the shallows and forage like a LMB will?
Also, as the deepest spot is only 8', and I do not know what the drawdown is for drought and Texas summers I have a concern about how they will deal with the warm water. I have read that whitebass/HSB are more temperature sensitive than the LMB/SMB families.
Finally, I was not planning on introducing any shad into the pond, but some here seem to indicate that shad is a near must with HSB.
Given the situation, goals and concerns, do you think the benefit of HSB still outweighs the risks?
