Hello Bill
Just a note on channel cats in bass ponds. We use 5 Gallon spackle buckets cut half the top off point the opening toward shore in about 18" water depth with a couple rocks inside usally 20 per acre. If the bass seem to pressure then will cover them with bails of hay the cats make their own ways in. Bass keep their distance. For bullheads keep the buckets together in grassy or weed shallows with alot of hay on top they will will dig in and and find a sutible nest.
