Thanks to the drought and my cousin Terry the bass in my 1+ acre pond have been wiped out. All I seem to catch are mudcat. These are those smelly cats with the stiff pointed fins.
I was told the bass was the best way to get rid of them and of course that’s what I’m trying to repopulate. 2 months ago I stocked over $700 worth of small fingerling bass, minnows, and bluegill. The fish came from 2 places: one of those Arkansas companies that deliver all over Texas and that place down the road from me in Hallettsville. Yes, I told them I already had mudcats and wanted to get rid of them.
Did I just give these hardheads a feast on bass or is there any way they can survive the mudcats? Do I need to stock with mature fish?
I am afraid I wasted my time, energy and $$.
