George1 - I totally agree and support what you have found to work for you. I have a two acre pond in NE Texas and have been stocking Tilapia for 4 years now and plan on the same next year. I put 30 pounds in my two acres but no GC. Works great for me and the past few weeks we have been catching the Tilapia like crazy on night crawlers. Just had another hatch a few weeks ago as well. Most of what we catch are in the 2-3 pound range.
What I have been buying are Mozambic Tilapia. What is a Blue Tilapia? Are they better to eat?
Pondrookie, I caught about half a dozen of these 2-3# tilapia this morning on Stubby flies.
AQMX 600 "chum" - always thought the only time they ate pellets were when they were "overstocked" ...
Fun to catch aren't they?
