You guys that are getting productive catfish spawns are a lot different that my situation. I have a 1/4 or so acre pond that had nothing but BG and GSF. Three years ago, my Grandson wanted some cats so I stocked 25 six to 8 inch CC's. The existing ones, all 9 of them, are pellet hogs but I've never seen a successful spawn. When I stocked my larger one, I put in cats along with BG, FHM and then bass. Never seen any indication of a spawn. I doubt that I even have one after 2 years of cormorant visits.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
