M-L that explains your position to me. Sorry to come off so strong but it seemed some of the comments were personal, apparently not and sorry for the reaction. I really hope I do not come off all knowing and want to encourage you to continue your post. I just wish they were a little more toned down, and I do not mean that in a bad way at all.
You mentioned you want to share ideas. I agree and really do hope to learn from your experiment. However on many occasions you have taken the time to give advice to folks, no problem there. However I usually give out tried and true methods as Ric says based on the fact it works. For ex a guy from GA ask about fertilzing lakes ( I think this is right) you come on there and warn them about how bad it can be. Even after I say it can be beneficial I think you have came back again with how bad. Is that necessary? You provide your idea on how it worked on your ponds in TX and it may not apply to how it is in GA. Make sense?
I in no way want to discourage your posts you are informative and knowledgable. IMHO you seem to come off strong on many opinions. ANother one is your preaching about hybrid and tilapia. I'm with you but some folks can not legally stock these. I know I had a major awakenieng on here when I posted about a few northern ponds. I quikly learned to sit back and see answers b/c many times folks that are there no way more than I about regional diffs.
Ewest very well stated I wish I could put in wiritng what I'm trying to say as well as you. I would much rather talk to someone in person. I agree about genetics playing a more important role than full belly. That was my point but apparently not explained so well.
M-L why do you want this bass source?
These are the same ones I described as being pellet trained and you were very clear about no way are they more agressive. Glad to see your interest maybe you will trust ewest more than may advice.
