We have a FHM pond and it is next to a pig pen. Actuall hogs!
What sort of bad things can those fish get. I dont move those minnows. the water turns green and looks like well... a pig lives there. The pond is small. It is up hill from the pen but the bigs visit constantly.
The minnows do excellant in this pond though, I have thrown a trap in justout of curiosity and it is bursting with small and medium sized minnows.

What would be a good way to make sure the bait is clean and safe to take some where else?

Any thing I could do to make the pond better while not keeping the pigs away??

I think Fatheads could live in and maybe thrive in a nuclear waste dump.

I have mixed emotions about using them for bait. I just don't know.

You need to toss a few Tilapia in that pond and see how they do.

only access i have to tilapia is wallmart.....

They are available mail order.........

They sale tilapia at your walmart?

Walmart has tilapia in the frozen meat section. Although they don't do very well eating algae.

thanks for clarifying Bill Cody

So how are the fatheads doing?
