My brother has about a 5 acre lake in southwest Mississippi and 2 years ago he put 400 of the dark species in, they were 4-6 inches at the time of stocking. Before the bashing begins, I know that he shouldnt have put them in there but he knew better and its his place. The pond has a ton of fish life in it and the fishing is always good for bream, cats, and bass. No one has tried to catch any sac-au-lait or even accidently caught one. Lake is a dammend off ravine taht in the middle is 20-25 feet deep and most the trees were cut off at 10 - 15 feet to leave structure under the surface. First I was wondering on the size that these fish may be after 2 years, are they large enough to fish for/eat? My plan is to try and catch as many of them as I can get out and hope for the best. Also, I have heard that the end of Feb is when they spawn and can be caught around structure. Anyone got any info for me, thanks.
