I don't know about channel cats but the consensus is to start feeding at 50 F.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Whatever it is Monday is when I'm starting, and aerating 
I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES. ![[Linked Image from i90.photobucket.com]](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k247/jmilczski/Fish/PBSubscribe.gif)

Sounds like a good plan! Hubby and I started feeding about a week ago, but we couldn't remember what the best temperature should be. The only fish who have responded this week were.... surprise..... the minnows. I think we have the spring jitters waiting on the channel catfish as we just stocked them last fall.

They are a warm water fish so perhaps it will take them longer to get ramped up? I'm sure others here will know. I've never had catfish.
