Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Stocking Channel Cats

1/5 acre pond in NC with population of LM Bass and Bluegill. In November stocked 100 channel cat fingerlings (3-4"). I expect a level of mortality from the bass, but have a couple questions.
- Do I need to be feeding the CCats over the winter?
- What is the expected growth rate of channel cats? Note, I do have a feeder that I will definitely use in warm weather.

Thanks for any info you can offer.
