Does anybody have any spawning cages for catfish? I talked to a hatchery about buying one and they told me they could give me info about how to build one. Just wondering if anybody has a cage or knows how to build one.

I attatched two 5 gallon buckets , with the open end's together , then cut an 8 " hole in one end , then screwed a 24" piece of 2"x4" on the end of one of the buckets to keep it from rolling around , then tied the handles together with a rope to the surface with a float . this allowes you to find it and remove it after spawining season .
This info came from Bob Lusk !

We have poly catfish spawning house. 28 inches tall, 14 inches around with 8 inch opening. Looks like a butter churn but made with plastic. We use them for fish cover by drilling holes in them. Not sure of shipping cost but sell them for $25. Or $20 for 2. They really work much beter than 2 buckets put together. It is what most catfish hatchiers in Miss use.

Sounds interesting Greg. Do you have any pictures of these catfish condos?
Working hard so others don't have to.

I have gotten several plastic drums (30 gal, maybe?) from a local outfit that gets floor cleaner in them. I cut a hole in one end and use them for carrying water to trees for several weeks to be sure they're really well-rinsed. Add that 2x4 for stability and you're set.
