I would like to add to my 7.5 acre VA lake:
1. a few florida's and f-1's to improve my lmb genetic potential,
2. a few smallies for variety,
3. and a few wipers, also for variety.
Here's the rub. I don't want them to become an expensive snack for my hungry lmb population. With-in 500 miles of my home, I can find only fingerling sizes of each of these fish. I don't have another pond to raise them to a size sufficient to add them to my lake without them getting eaten. Does anyone have any ideas, or had any success cage raising any of these? Can i keep them supplied with fatheads and pellets? Any other ideas? -jb
