teehjaeh57,
Don't worry about it. I skim through posts all the time.
I don't want to add hybrid bluegill because I am worried about them finding their way back to some b*st*rd*z*d variety of green sunfish LOL.
I will do more looking into the yellow perch situation.
I completely agree with having the Lake Chubsuckers in the pond with no predation for a few years. I have read that the chubsuckers reach maturity in their third year. So, I want to be sure that the first batch spawns before I put the bass in. I figure that if there are a full batch of them spawning before the bass get there, they will probably have established themselves well enough to avoid being eradicated.
On a side note, I have given a lot of thought to doing the same smallmouth project in Georgia, but with the availability of threadfin shad it would make things much easier IMO.
Even if I had to add a handful of hybrid stripers to control shad populations. That would be okay too.
