Farm Pond Management Catfish &Bluegill

Farm pond Management Catfish &bluegill is a video explaining about how to manage fish in your pond, and how to set up the right conditions for your channel Catfish &bluegill to breed if that's what you are wanting. Some people Would rather not have their catfish to breed. And also if you get a hybrid blue Gill, they will breed but at a very low rate. These catfish are one year old and they will be ready for harvest next Spring, by then they will be 11 to 12" just the right size.

I want to convince my husband to dig us a pond for our ducks and for food security.

I'm loving your homestead channel David. I love all the animals and I enjoy the cooking and all that goes along with it. I don't homestead but know a lot of people that do. I've shared your channels with them.

If you can catch your local rd department changing out old concrete tiles they work great for catfish. The tiles are usually in 3 to 4 feet sections. They're easy to roll up on a trailer to haul. 579 subs when I commented. Thanks for the video

WOW - that was ONE big fish at 50 secs!!!! Do yall ever go swimming in this pond???

[@linzwalker436]

I'm trying to get my buddy to do this ☺️ 🎣

[@ricktempleton3107]

Kinda off topic a little but what do you do with your ducks in the winter when the pond freezers up. They can't escape the coyotes and foxes.

[@timothyyoung4061]

How does the catfish handle a freeze?

[@cutweldngrind]

How deep is that pond? I want to build a pond this size or bigger but I have no clay which means I have to haul in a lot of clay to seal the pond. I have a small 20ft round pond with a few minnows and been wanting to expand the pond.

[@johnnyjones5060]

do you catch them with a rod and reel when your ready to take them out?

[@fredflintstone1547]

does this pond have a pump and filter?

[@phitran717]

[@abigailespinosa7017]

[@billm5005]

I found the catfish in my pond tend to keep water muddy. I have been catching them out and water stays clear.

[@nateturbeville601]

[@rikertvonfulton16]

[@hunterboone1928]

[@jimtin1453]

I have a 1/2 acre pond. Any ideas for Algae control.

[@homesteadhacksandhens]

Yes, get you a gallon of pond dye from Tractor Supply. It will choke it out.

[@chrisyarbrough3914]

Did you place any spawning structure in the pond? If so what did you use?

[@WestTexasSmallTown]

Did you even watch the video?

[@clayrush1413]

Catfish are cavity nesters. Old metal milk jugs work great.
