I stocked 25 4" channel cat fingerlings in my pond (only 1/4 acre since it's been low) back in May of last year.
This past weekend I bought a bag of fish food from Tractor Supply and thought I'd toss some in and see what happened.
Well, it didn't take long for the fish to come. About 15 small perch came first (I had stocked 25 or so back in may), then here came the catfish...about 8 of them anyway. I was blown away by how much they had grown. They were 12" or so.
Then I noticed some other small (what looked to be) 4-6" catfish as I walked around the pond. Could they have already reproduced that quickly?
I'm thinking I'll keep feeding now, but I only get out to the ranch every weekend, so I assume feeding once a week is okay? (I thought about getting a Moultrie feeder.)
