Well I can't speak for pond raised HSBs....but we fish for them on Norfork Lake in AR every spring (headed down that way the day after tomorrow) and we do best on suspending stickbaits fished REALLY slowly and also soft swimbaits. And if you can catch them feeding towards the top a zara spook or similar is a TON of fun...they'll knock that thing 4 feet in the air!

Man I'm getting excited just thinking about it....
