Hi Randy, I forgot another thing - is your HSB goal for fun or food or combination?
Makes a difference in stocking density.
I have said at times that I would love to have a HSB pond only - no excess forage problems - feed them and catch them on a fly rod - kinda like fishing one of Todd's ponds! grin

Also forgot to mention - NO structure or cover to maximize HSB predation of CNBG.
We have one GC and single sex tilapia in our little pond that handles aquatic vegetation and FA very well.
I would love to start all over but too quick too old – I love small ponds!
George

Ps: Forgot to address your brackish water – striped bass love Texoma brackish water.
Mrs G has caught a 13+ lb HSB out of lake Texoma!
