thanks for the advice
will put in LMB for handling the larger shiners; my error in thinking the hybrid bass would be sufficient; was concerned with over population of the bass
pond is .85 acres -- in the title, easy to miss.
OK will stock 25 sizable [8--10 inches] bass this October when the water cools; about right number?
caught a 6 inch brooder shiner this morning -- looked heavy with eggs, last spawn before fall? -- there will be loads of food to over winter the LMB and HSB?
