I know they're not an indigenous species, but after an initial stocking do they sustain themselves or do they need constant restocking?

I was just told that they are showing up pretty much everywhere. if you look at Floridas waterways there are a lot of connected creeks(small) all over the place. we were bouncing around(yes some spots more productive than others just like all fishing) but there seemed to be action all around. We were actually fishing in peoples backyards. They are a fish I have never caught, pretty fish, cool picture, Glad I did it and would recommend Scott Rose...informative-great personality.

Most of big ones caught on live bait. Most in tiny lakes off the river,virtually inaccessable by flat skiff.
