What's Your Opinion?

[Feathers and Fins]

Blue, Not all lakes should have stripers or need them and in fact they can be very bad for lakes under some circumstances. For instance your little lake would not be a place I would want to see Hybrids or Stripers as they can and will eat out a small lake, the stunted growth you talked about I have seen happen in lakes that someone thought was a good idea to put in hybrids or stripers ( why i laughed at bella vista for doing it ) It has to be managed carefully to work in the manner I am talking about.

I have enjoyed this thread a lot.

Ive caught many a big bass with gizzard shad tails sticking out of their throat.

Thats usually a sign the bigger bass are nearby.

As for the striper, they're a saltwater species and shouldnt be stocked in inland lakes.

Thats just my opinion..

walleye and flatheads are welcome at my house....

I lost interest in this thread as soon as someone started quoting lakes off the BASS top100... That list is a joke some guy at a desk pumped out in a hour because he didn't have any material apparently..

Got that right.
