[#0000FF]1% of a half million equates to a lot more than 1% of a lot less than that. A difference of a few thousand adults can make a recognizable difference in the success of anglers chasing them.
I do have to agree on your observation...that having good numbers of several different species kinda offsets just having a bunch of wipers. I enjoy all of the species in Willard...even the ones that don't break rods or empty reels.
With the hatchery facilities at BigWater you would think it would be advantageous to maintain a supply of breeding white bass there for closer proximity to the stripers. And while their spawning cycles are usually pretty close...based upon water temps and daylight hours...they do not always coincide exactly. It ain't rocket science but close to it.
