bmccreight,

I've had the same thought and tried a couple of years ago, without success I might add, to change my "bass agressiveness" by introducing natives to the mix.

Suggest you start a new thread asking the experts on here to weight in on that question....can we make our own F1's by introducing natives and does that help with the lack of aggression we observe in the Floridas?

Yes, my LMB are also on the beds...its really fun to get on a high bank above them and watch the proceedings...but frustrating cause I can't catch them. I caught three real nice ones in about an hour last weekend, but should have caught 20 or more if they weren't so danged smart.
