When we had the thread fin shad die offs in late fall in Kansas, the shad would twirl and spin. The crappies, walleyes and even channel cats would all stuff themselves to the point of distended bellies! threadfins were stocked in spring in locations where they died overwinter.
So
Dave threadfin shad like tilapia don't survive winter and have to be restocked every year? I wonder if the threadfin could make it through a typical north/east Texas winter?
Zep, I don't knnow about TS survival in a 4 acre pond but winter kill is rare in our Texas reservoirs - I only remember a couple in some 20 years at Texoma.
Stocking crappie in a small pond would scare the bejabbers out of me
don't know about a larger pond such as yours.
