Stocking blue cat vs. channel cat - 02/14/08 02:28 AM
New member, new subcriber and first post but have read the forums on PB for several years while dreaming about my new pond(s).
I have 2 ponds being built. One is 2+ acres, 17' max depth, average 6-7', and the other one is 1-1/2 acres, 11' max depth, average of 6'+/-. They both should be completed mid-march this year. Bring on the spring rain! Both ponds are on my private ranch which would be fished primarily by friends and family. My plan was to stock BG/RES and FHM when the water level warranted and then LMB and CC later in both ponds. I'm thinking about putting Blue Cats instead of CC in the 2 acre pond and wanted to get everyone's opinion if this is a good idea or not. I think it would be fun for the kids (and myself of course) to fight the big BC's once in a while. Is this a good idea or not?
