OhioFisherman Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 In case you ever wondered about the cost of fish. Largemouth bass- 3 inch fish 1.75 each 6 inch fish 3.50 each 10-12 inch fish 10.00 each Hybrid Bluegill- 3-5 inch fish 1.25 each Adult Bluegill- 4-6 inch fish 1.50 each Channel catfish- 4 inch fish 1.20 each 8 inch fish 1.50 each Fathead minnows- 2 inch 8.50/lb Hybrid white amur (grass carp) 11.00 each Goldfish 6-8 inch 4.00 each It cost some cash to stock a pond, a reason why some land owners don`t want people fishing their ponds. Numbers I have seen are a healthy pond will support 90 bass per surface acre, initial stocking done with a mix of sizes.
sharper Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 Is there a bass farm in ontario? I only know of a trout pond where you pay for the trouts you catch.
Golfisher Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 Largemouth bass- 10-12 inch fish 10.00 each This is a lot more costly than I had ever thought.

OhioFisherman Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Posted October 7, 2007 Sharper, we have some private hatcheries here, they raise fish for stocking private ponds. They usually have a sale in the spring or in the fall at the farm co-op, if you have a farm co-op in your area they might know. At least one here advertises in our rural electric power magazine also. I think the ones here truck the fish in to the store for the sale in trucks like the bait suppliers use. Usually just a one day sale, and ordering in advance guarantees you get what you want. The ad was in our local newspaper. Lots of farm ponds here.
