Thanks for the excellent information from all,I can always count on this forum to point me in the right direction.I have to admit that I was lost as to what a HSB was exactly is and if there was a paticular version of the fish best suited for the Northern regions.I knew of the Palmetto and the sunshine bass but no clue as to which version might be best for me.This is what I understand to be correct.The only difference between the two versions is the switching of the male and female egg and sprem with the white bass and the striped bass,most HSB are the Palmetto which uses the white bass sprem and the striped bass egg.Whats the advantage in either version? Most HSB are affected by the warmer water temps during summer months, could one version be more resistant? I should stock the pond with 10"-12" HSB, is this larger size going to be difficult to find? Is now the best time to stock? or did I miss the boat (again
)GO CYCLONES!!....SORRY BRUCE.
