Todd is bringing me F1's on April 3. Consider what I said about Florida bass, HSB, and Tilapia.
I'm not sure about gizzard shad yet, jury is still out, but I think the verdict will be favorable, positive. Read the posts on the forum about gizzard shad.
Threadfin shad are very difficult to establish. I've tried twice without success...you need to stock large threadfins for breeding and then pray...it hasn't worked for me...but gizzards may. There is a danger of gizzard shad getting too large and taking over that has been pointed out to me by some, especially Bill Cody whom I respect greatly...but again every situation is different and we have to find what works best for us....and be open minded... in spite of what you may hear, everything about pond management has not been discovered and there are new and better ways of approaching problems.
