HSB is an open water fish so shad and heavy feeder use is your best bet. Contact Silver Streak P.O. Box 99-Danevang, Tx 77432; 979-543-4941. I met them at a seminar 1.5 years ago. They advertise that they sell farm raised Hybrid Striped Bass. I expect they can answer most of your questions. They told me that they specialize in wholesaleing to Asian food markets but were there looking for local dealers for pond stocking.
