Bill and others:

How would you rate hybrid stripped bass for raising in terms of difficulty to raise from fingerling in a cage culture from small fingerling in the spring to release in the fall to a larger body of water and established fishery? Shortly, I will be constructing a 8'L x 4'W x 4' Deep cage to float at the end of my dock in the open lake water near shore. Can I expect 6" HSB by the fall for release if fed daily on a high protein pellet food? Any suggestion on food type and protein content etc.... Thanks.
