Yes, Sproch is my guy. I'd have to go back and see what he charged. As I recall, he got them from North or South Carolina.

After they were stocked, I didn't see them for several weeks.

Then, I was shore fishing and drinking, and several hundred feet down the pond, I saw a 20' x 20' ring of boiling water. I knew it was the HSB. They were hearding shiners or fatheads.

My bro was in the boat with a buddy in the back section of the pond, so I phoned them to come back to see the HSB, and they caught one after the other for about 10 minutes.

I don't know if Sproch is going for HSB this year or not. When I talked to him a week or two back to place forage orders, he had doubts if his client base was going to order enough.
