Shellcracker/Redear Sunfish
Shellcracker/Redear Farm prospective
Our best Shellcracker ponds tend to have more weed problems then the other ponds. Shellcracker hatch heavy and quickly over populate production ponds. We feed our Shellcracker ponds cottonseed meal and feed. We often spread graded Shellcracker into empty ponds attempting better growth rate. Shellcracker do not feed on floating food very well at any time of year. Shellcracker hold well for transportation during most times of the year. Shellcracker eat snails that act as a intermediate host for grubs. We set Shellcracker in our control in our Bass and Catfish grow out ponds.
