Fish Stocking and Species Management

Question: What types of fish do you have available to stock? Is this service available to customers outside of Georgia?

Answer: “We stock fish and are licensed in aquaculture in every state that we do service. Primarily we sell triploid grass carp, which are weed eating carp that are sterile; we sell catfish; we sell blue gill, red ear, red breast and hybrid bream as well. And, of course, we sell largemouth bass and stripe bass, and for the occasional pan fishing pond, we’ll stock crappie or threadfin shad.”

The Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) is one of the most popular freshwater game fish in the southeast US. Their ability to strike at most artificial lures and to help keep overpopulation of smaller feed fish in check make this fish an excellent addition to any pond or lake.
