empty tank

DARRYL_B · 08-25-04, 01:52 PM

there's a stock tank in my family aint been fished for 8yrs until two days ago...No bass...just turtles and a whole $#!&load of minnows and bait fish. Anyone know where to buy young fish for stockin...like hybrid bass or catfish...

Check with your local game or water resource agency. I know in Fl any body of water 3 acres and above will be stocked for free with cat,bass,crappie. Also check if you have somebody that is farm raising fish, they may due it for free depending on how full they are.

DARRYL_B · 08-25-04, 02:42 PM

that's great advice..thanks. Oh...hows that sulfur taste.

DARRYL_B · 08-25-04, 03:26 PM

Is it possible to have an abundance of bait fish, bugs, and fireflies but still no fish?

bassfisher14 · 08-25-04, 04:11 PM

I would try fishing that thing some more. There could posibly be some big fish in there. you never know.

fredhatch · 08-25-04, 04:33 PM

What's possible is theres an abundance of natural food source there and you may have to figure out what the fish like. Go there early in morning or late in the day and try various baits and presentations.

DARRYL_B · 08-25-04, 05:35 PM

What about Dynamite? Just kidding...I'd shoot them first! Again, just kidding.

You could also take you a john boat out there with a fishfinder on it and see if you spot anything on it. You have to know what you are looking at on the fishfinder though. Set it to manual so you can tell the difference in baitfish, and big fish.

DARRYL_B · 08-26-04, 05:52 PM

Was that Cid ? LOL

nicholastown · 08-31-04, 05:06 AM

Every state that I know of has fish hatcheries. They are there for the sole purpose of selling fish to individuals for stocking ponds. Most now sell fingerlings of bass, catfish, bream, and your normal game fish. Take a good look in the phone book and I think you will find the answer to your question.

DARRYL_B · 08-31-04, 04:44 PM

Thanks guy...

Rob Mak · 08-31-04, 09:15 PM

singerloo · 09-07-04, 01:12 AM

U do NOT want many turtles in that pond...
They will constantly kill off fish and grow in numbers...
Besides, do you want a bit-off finger while you're
swimming?!

get RID of the turtles,

DARRYL_B · 09-07-04, 10:52 PM

You ever seen a turtle after hit with a 250 short mag? Neither have I.

Bassin_Dude · 09-07-04, 10:57 PM

singerloo · 09-07-04, 11:58 PM

No, but I have seen a turtle get
run over by a car, and half his head was
flattened...

It was a 50lb frikin Snapper.

It was a sick sight :P :-/
