Anthropic,

I have a quote from Ewest which answers your question, I think,

Ewest Commnets quote:
"If the 75 are Fla strain you will not be able to tell genetically the difference between them and CB because I don't think that can be measured yet. Fla , northern and F-1 or Fxs can be genetically determined (not cheap to do and only a few places can do so). Cross breeding in this context means crossing 2 distinct species not 2 strains of LMB or 2 types of Fla LMB. For example if 2 humans have a baby it is not a cross as both parents are human (one species). End of Quote.

Maybe Todd Overton will join in and set the record straight on your question......


TGW1,

We have been catching LMB on beetle spins, white crank baits, silver rattle traps, H&H spinner baits, black jigs off bottom, live worms and the kids prefered method......live bluegill....2-3" hooked through the back.

Quote from 10 year old girl, We raised the worms to catch the bluegill which we used to catch the LMB.....I am "The Fishing Queen" Dad....
