Testimonials

“One of my clients, Bobby Franks of Hale County, Ala., caught a TIGER BASS that weighed 9 pounds 12 ounces and was only 32 months old.”
Ben Dowling, SOUTHERN LAKE MANAGEMET.

 

“Our clients like the TIGER BASS because they hit artificials so well and grow so fast. We electrofished a TIGER BASS that was almost 10 pounds and was only 3 years old.”
Kedrick Nutt, SOUTHEASTERN POND MANAGEMENT.

Seasonal Tips

Threadfin Shad Are Available Now!

shad_harvest_webSexually mature threadfin shad are now available from American Sport Fish Hatchery. Our hatchery ponds are full of healthy adult threadfin shad and we will begin our deliveries on June 15.

These shad will spawn several times in your lake this summer. Many years ago, most of the lakes and ponds in the southeast were stocked during the summer using this technique. Most lake managers in East Texas continue to stock threadfin shad during the summer, with good success.

If you are not observing schools of threadfin shad on the surface of your lake in the late afternoon, you need to add them to your lake. If you miss a threadfin shad spawn this year, you may reduce food production for your bass for the next two years.

Stock Your Pond!

By stocking the right kind of fish and following a well-developed plan of maintenance and fertilization, you can grow trophy-sized fish in your pond. Let American Sport Fish Hatchery help you reach your pond's maximum potential!
