Ok guys I live just north of Wichita Falls, TX. About 5 miles into Oklahoma, and im thinking of stocking my new pond with Florida CNBG, I was wondering if I should worry about the overwintering. To give you an Idea of my temps, I plan on haveing Tshad that die at 42F and plan on them living 4 of 5 winters. We hardly every see ANY ice on the ponds around here if that makes a difference..I wanted to stock nothing but florida strain CNBG simply becuase I want to.
Do pure florida CNBG follow the same temp range of florida bass?
Do you guys think I need something besides pure Florida CNBG to ensure my forage base does not die during a bad winter?
Ideally I would like only Florida CNBG
option 2: Florida CNBG with Arkansas strain CNBG
option 3: Florida CNBG with native BG
It probably doesnt make that much difference in the grand scheme. My goal is large bass, but I would like the chance of catching some big BG near the feeder.
Once again I want Florida CNBG pretty much for that reason (the wanting)
Thanks for the help,
Jake B
