channel catfish are great fish to stock in small ponds for both meat and fun
Yesterday we picked up twenty five, 7-10″ channel catfish from Carolina Fish Hatchery and brought them back to their new home, our 3/4 acre pond.They were double bagged, given a shot of oxygen in their water, then placed in 2 of our big plastic totes while we drove home to release them. They held up well during the hour drive, and so far there are no floaters at the pond.
With some luck, and a diet of small bluegills, they’ll be “eatin’ size” in no time! Stay tuned for more updates on how and why we stocked our small pond with channel catfish!
