oneshot 1 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Why is Pond Raised Catfish not even comparable River caught? I mean I have went to Dowds and Catfish to me was nasty. Lots put down Trout from Bennett. I don't fish the park but have caught Trout in the river. To me and my wife we haven't had bad Trout unless someone bakes it whole with aluminum over it then it is just nasty. Yes we ate plenty Trout in the mountains.

Terrierman Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Fish that eat their natural food are much better tasting than any farm raised fish fed purina fish chow. Fresh water or salt water. Farmed oysters are fine though, they don't get fed anything artificial, just provided a good substrate to live on in what is normally a great place for oysters to live.

oneshot 1 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 We quit feeding some Catfish and they really slimmed down. Big time. Put bunch if Hybrid Bluegill in there they really grew. I like fishing for them in the Lindley Creek. oneshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best catfish there is = belly meat from a big flathead. That and cheeks. bfishn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve caught a handful the past few years on cranks. I never really thought about keeping one to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarchdale@coresleep.com Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Back when we used to spearfish on Bull we quit shooting the channels in the summer because they tasted so bad. Ive had plenty of catfish other times of the year and they tasted good. I did some research and it said it was because of the algae and stuff they ingested in the summer. Flat heads were always good but they also mainly eat live things Terrierman and bfishn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
