John Fitzgerald, Cargills should ship directly to you. They are located in Louisiana.
They will, for $69 per bag. I will quit feeding entirely before I pay that much. I have been to or talked to, every feed store in the area.
Some of them carry a few bags of catfish pellets. TSC is the only place in the area that carries multi species food, and they only get a shipment in the spring. I checked their stock last October, and it was still the same February lot number -STALE.
This isn't east Texas. Probably 90% of ponds here are, or were, cattle ponds. Probably 99% of ponds here are unmanaged. People around here generally don't give a hoot about feeding, and the feed stores tell me there is almost no market for fish feeds, even catfish pellets.
Most don't even have catfish pellets in stock after Labor Day.
I have to figure out a better and cheaper way of getting fish food, or just feed CC pellets, or quit.
