Yea, I agree with big_pond alot of us are looking for a more diverse environment. I think once my new pond is built I will stock bass, bluegill, shellcrackers, and then try a combo of hybrid stripers and just plain stripers. I will probably end up trying to tag some of the stripers that way I can easily identify them. If the stripers die, oh well, I know they didn't work. It's worth a try.
