Guys, I keep looking at all of my options and one things keep coming back. I want low maintenance. I definitely want channel cat. Are HBG going to be my best bet.
I'd love to have big coppernose. I am concerned that I would lose some fish in the winter. I'm sure I'd have some success with them here, but just not sure that they would be any better than native BG as far as size goes. I want something that I can feed off of the dock and occassionally catch.
I've fished for catfish for years and one of my favorite baits is live sunfish. Would the Channel cats not keep what little offspring the HBG produce in check???
Maybe get my hands on a few female LMB?
More thoughts please. The pond will be 3/4 acre. I might add that I would not really ever be interested in killing off the pond and starting over again after this renovation is complete.....maybe BG are my best option then?
Not really interested in eating the fish. I'd catch and eat some occassionally.
