I currently have a smb / perch set up. The smb bass dont spawn high numbers like lmb. The smb keep the perch in check. All fish are feed trained. The perch are for eating. The smb are for a good fighting fish and taste pretty good too. Fat head minnows are always a good idea but hard to keep a good supply. I have an area with cattails that provide some shelter. Working on a small pond just to raise minniow to keep up with demand.
