Well it's May and I still have no sign of any fish in my pond. I started feeding about a week ago and have seen nothing. It's been merky for the last 2 weeks due to duck and rains so I've not been able to look for them.
Is there any way to verify if any of the 50 catfish and 300 bg are still in there?

If you have a cast net you might give that a shot and see.

sc, I'm in about the same situation as you are with my catfish pond. I don't see any sign at all of my catfish or minnows. My fish biologist friend gave me some helpful info. He said I'd not likely to ever see those catfish until the point in time where they get used to feeding which I don't know how long that will take. I know as of now they ignore the food I try to feed them. My friend told me that they were probably getting plenty to eat at the bottom of the pond. He said the minnows were likely consumed. He also said to put a minnow trap in the pond and see what's there. That's what I plan to do.

Same here. I see lots of fatheads in the shallows, but no bluegills. I've been trying to feed when the weather is good for the last three weeks. No takers as of yet.

Hey big pond don't despair looks like we are in for a real soaker this weekend. They are predicting 2-5 inches of rain overnight here in North Alabama. I am still full just stopped going out the spillway this weekend so will send it on your way!
