| Suttle Fish Farm sells channel
catfish for pond stocking. It is an excellent fish to stock. The
stocking rate
on channel catfish is only one hundred per surface acre stock with
other
fish. The reason for the low stocking rate is because that the pond
only
produces so much feed for these fish. You can stock more fish per
surface
acre but you will have to implement a feeding program. Lakes stocked
exclusively
with catfish can be 1500 per surface acre with an expected supplemental
feeding program. Commercial lakes stock 4000 to 8000 fish per acre
depending
upon the owner's expert ability of fish management. The channel catfish
has an excellent feed conversion compared to other fish. It is now
grown
commercially in many states. The body color of the channel catfish
varies
widely from silver-gray on the top side to light on the underside,
depending
mostly on the clarity of the water. The v-tail is distinct in the
channel
catfish. It is quickly becoming the #1 sought after fish by fishermen.
The
catfish taste is excellent and there are numerous recipes available.The ideal time to stock channel catfish is winter
season. The colder the water temperature, the better it is to
stock. That holds true for Bream (Bluegill), Shellcracker (Redear), and
Fathead Minnows.
Some of our clients are actually breaking the ice on ponds and adding
our
fish. That is a good time to add fish. Water can't be any colder than
that. Price $25 / 100
$200 / 1000 Sorry we are unable to ship catfish through FedEx. Call for time and place for pick up or delivery 601-425-4480 |
