If your cat fishing and there is a dead animal in the water that is usually the best place to catch them.

6 to 8 yrs ago Sam's has a recalled on catfish, for this samething and the fish was coming from China..

 

It came out then know where your fish is coming from...

 

The fish farmers in the south say they cannot compete with overseas prices...

I have eaten a lot of catfish but mostly when I was younger. In the early days, most came out of Texas rivers and lakes but most of it later was farm raised. There were, probably still are, a lot of fish farms in Texas and other southern states.

There was a proposal for a fish farm in our area. They did a study and determined that the numbers they needed to be profitable was way too many "fish per sq metre" of water volume and the water would become too polluted with fish crap and disease etc would be a problem.

 

Plus they said the outflow of pollutants would be so rich that it could actually kill the lake the outflow pours into.

We have several large catfish farms here in SW Loozeeanner and that is our main source for really tasty catfish filets and catfish nuggets. Our bayou's are loaded with catfish as well but we do catch/release with them when we are fishing. Catfish are bottom-feeders and are well known for eating anything they come upon. Same thing can be said for our crawfish....

Boomer....who sez fried catfish iz a purty good meal and makes a durn good po-boy too.

It can be done. It's just a matter of setting everything up properly. I messed with it a bit myself. I built a 30 x 60 ft. greenhouse for that very purpose. Those who have been to maintenance day have seen the greenhouse. I originally built it to play around with an aquaculture project. We went to a seminar at Ohio State University to get some training. We had six 3,000 gallon tanks and drilled a well for the water supply. We had it all plumbed with bio filters, sand filters and UV sterilizers. All water was recycled. We had two of the tanks setup and running with about 3,000 yellow perch. They were growing very well until we made a fatal mistake and ended up making about 6,000 gallons of fish soup. It was a dumb mistake and we expected to make at least a couple of mistakes while learning. This one was caused by a temperature control problem. Anyway, we never started it again because we realized that we had underestimated the heating costs. Having no option here other than propane for heating, I just came to the conclusion that it would not be profitable enough to continue. So......

 

It can be done though and in areas where solar heat, warmer temperatures, even natural gas, I think I would try it again. Propane is just too expensive though.

 

With the proper filtration, waste water and etc. are just not an issue.

Nearly 11 years ago I passed up an offer from an Uncle to invest in a crawfish farm he planned to start on his farm in Church Point, La. I was reluctant to part with $10K but in hindsight I sure wish I had! Within 4 years my Uncle had made his 1st Million $$ with that crawfish farm. He retired from the business 2 years ago and sold his crawfish farm to a neighbor....and that got him another 3 Million $$.

We have 3 types of crawfish for sale here in La.....One is farm raised, one is wild crawfish harvested from the bayous, and the 3rd is crawfish imported from China. We locals know better than to bother with the China crawfish....nasty tasting stuff for sure!! A lot of Resteraunts use the China crap because is sells for 1/3 the price of La. crawfish.

Boomer....who sez he passed onna deal to be part owner inna cathouse cuz I just knew I wuz gonna cut into de profit margin on dat enterprise....

I saw on 20/20 or one of those news type program that the "dirtiest" seafood is farm raised shrimp from Thailand and 80% of the shrimp used in the USA is from Thailand. I love shrimp but won't eat it at restaurants and only buy it when I can find Gulf shrimp.

 

I found this: Imported shrimp actually holds the designation of being the dirtiest of all the seafood we looked at. Problem is, 90 percent of shrimp sold in the U.S. is imported. Imported farmed shrimp comes with a whole bevy of contaminants including antibiotics, residues from chemicals used to clean pens, E. coli, mouse hair, rat hair, and pieces of insects. Yum! Part of this has to do with the fact that less than 2 percent of all imported seafood (shrimp, crab, catfish, or others) gets inspected before its sold, which is why it's that much more important to buy domestic seafood.

The night before my first open water dive, I watched faces of death and they had a dude get his arm half eaten off by a Barracuda, so of course my first dive we were surrounded by barracuda.

We jug for cats in the river, easy to fish for them, and our bait of choice happens to be shrimp, stays on the hook, can catch multiple fish on one bait and won't stink up your fingers. If you have never jugged you are missing putting meat on the table. . .
