chambers is pretty far south for SMB-YP. Main reason is these fish are very hard to source in his area, 2nd is depending on summer water temps these two species could struggle. It would be purely an experiment. Very few have tried this fish combo in VA-GA-AL region due to 1&2. HSB can also struggle as they age in very warm summer water temps.

HSB and LMB will co-habitate readily. Some HSB may help control too many young LMB. GSH are mainly a nuisance if anglers are using small hooks and live bait such as worms, crikets, etc. IMO few GSH will survive if HSB are present since both mostly inhabit open water and the HSB will constantly terrorize the GSH as they do shad populations.
