Bill C - I'm still curious about the YP and RBT combination as this thread is questioning. I understand we don't know of anywhere it has been done, but it sure has me thinking of the possibility someday to try it.... And I am not trying to say that Captwho should do it.
My question is, where would the YP go after they spawn? Do they stay in the shallows with the brush (like the FHM)? At what age/size would they move into more open water to be preyed upon by RBT (hypothetically)? My thinking is that the RBT will prey on the YP, if they can. If LMB will prefer YP over BG, seems like RBT would too (more fusiform) if their living areas are ever in the same zone. Also, TJ has used HSB to "help" control BG, but do HSB prey upon YP too? Again, I am thinking RBT would be similar to the HSB situation.
Edit- also, stocking numbers of the RBT in Shorty's note above equates to something like 750 RBT per acre.... Wow....
Of course we don't know the size they are stocking which relates to pounds.
