You might want to consider yellow perch in addition to PS. A high density of SMB can put significant pressure on YP. SMB will be more of a high quality large bass fishery if you feed them high protein fish pellets. Check with Hicklings or Schultz in NY for availability of pellet raised SMB. When ready for stockers you may have to place an advanced custom order for them due to availability.
