I had always planned on stocking CC until I started reading the cons on here. When I was a kid, most of the time we fished for catfish of any kind and liked fishing at night for them, so I still kind of want some. I always like the fight a good size catfish gave. But now I fish more for LMB so I kind of lean things that way.
Depending on what you want your main fish to be, if you make sure it has the edge over the other fish you stock, then I would think things won't turn out to bad. At least that is what I'm hoping. lol!
I'm not going for trophy fish, just a fun place to fish and I'm ok with only having a few each of what I call bonus fish. As Long as there is a small chance of catching them I'll be happy.
If your hoping for any kind of trophy fish, then your probably better off with a tried and true plan.
