Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking Bluegill

For those of you following this thread - I highly suggest you go back into the Mar-Apr 2007 Pond Boss magazine and REREAD the article by Dr. Anderson Niche Overlap pg 53, about the competition between channel catfish and bass. He describes the big influence that catfish can have on a bass fishery.

If you prefer bass fishing you ought to leave catfish out of your pond. What good are they if you are like DrDuck and Catmandoo and the cats get to a point where can't catch them plus they are negatively impacting the bass and bluegill standing crops.
