Sparkie, Thanks for the copy posted from Louisiana Sportsman. Looks to be some good info. As many of you know, I am very close to Caddo lake which is known for its brim fishing. Brim fishing guides are available on the lake. I have considered transplanting some native BG from Caddo to my pond with OTS cnbg but after seeing the info on E Texas BG, I think I may leave the pond like it is. We will usually fish for brim in Caddo starting in April or May. Catching BG, RES and Warmouth or Rock Bass, Goggle eye or whatever you want to call them. The Warmouth is the best eating for my taste and I fish for them different from the BG. The CNBG will outgrow in size and at a faster rate over the native BG if I understand the information provided here by the Louisiana Sportsman. And Esshup, I know Mr. Lusk is "The Man". But, my first thought of optimal growing days in Ind. verses Texas can't be right. Texas weather is very different even when comparison is made within Texas borders. N. W. Texas is very different from S.E. Texas or E. Texas. So if it's all about warmer water temps for more aggressive feeding behavior, then Optimal growing days can't be the same. Can it?
