I know smallmouth bass are predominantly northern or cold water fish. I know they can live with lmb. What is the main reason they don't do well down south? I don't even think there would be a supplier down south.Just pondering if I had some in my new 2 acre pond and only 12 ft deep. Would they even survive?
Flame, I wouldn't waste my time on research or especially trying to raise smallmouth bass in the sand/clay areas of East texas.
I know a LOT about SMB, having caught literally hundreds from lake Texoma up to 7+ lbs.
They are found in Lake Texoma on rocky points, rocky shore lines and gravel beds - I know where they live and they don't live or even could survive in the midlake mud and sandy streams.
But if you like to experiment, I can put you on some good spots to havest some SMB good stock from Texoma...
