How do i know if there are catfish in my pond?

Question

i have already looked it up and this guy said to start throwing a couple cups of dry dog food every evening at the same time and they will eventually start eating it off the top. but what if there isn't any in there. how long to i do it until i know there arn't any? what if other fish eat it before it hits the bottom? please help me. if you have any other ideas on how to know if there are any catfish in my pond please tell me.

Answer 1

Only way to find out is to fish for them.

Answer 2

Go to your nearest grocery store and get either a chicken liver or beef liver (preferably beef as it is more durable and bleeds more). Then slap a small piece on a treble hook. I know it's a more hard way of going about doing this but it is also fun! If there are catfish in your pond you will know by doing this. Have fun and good luck man!

Answer 3

get some cheap hotdogs and fish for them they love hotdogs

Answer 4

Like the young man said, try fishing for one!

Answer 5

The simplest way to find out is to just go out and catch them and be thankful for the other fish in your pond, they are a part of the ecosystem. Happy fishing!

Answer 6

rig a couple of fishing poles with different stuff and see what you catch with catfish baits so u see what theyre biting on and wont worry about leaving and coming back...more is better than less

Answer 7

ummm, get a hook,chicken live, and a half pund weight no bober, and try catching one if u dont after a couple tries, there probly arnt any

Answer 8

whats the name of the pond. put a jug line out with your bait of choice  and if there are cats one will go after it
