Cecil,
Thanks for the input. I have read most of the posts about Coppernose but I may have overlooked the part about not being suitable for northern climates.
Would a hybrid be the best bet then? Looking to add some larger fish to an established 20 acre lake. It has plenty of bluegill with various sizes but seems to be missing any over 6 inches.
The lake has a healthy population of bass up to 8 lbs., stained water w/visibility of no more than 18 inches except in dead of winter. Also has gizzard shad, channel cat, and a few flat heads. Crappie are in the process of being thinned out this season since all are in the 6-7 in. range.
Some pellet feeding has been done for the past year and a half which has helped the bluegill some.
Any other ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Jay
