The pond is near Canton, TX.
EastTexasBassin my property in Wills Point is only about 15 miles away from you and I had 95 lbs of Tilapia in my 4 acre pond last summer. The tilapia did well, but did not dent the aquatic vegetation as much as I would have liked, so I may up the tilapia numbers this year and see what happens.
I bought my first batch of tilapia last May. They were from the Northeast Texas Farmers Co-op in Canton. The Northeast Texas Farmers Co-op tilapia were kind of small and did not seem very good quality. The young guy bagging them took forever, seemed like he hated his job, and I think stressed the fish. A month later I bought my second batch of tilapia from
Overton's Fisheries. The Overton's tilapia were big, healthy, active, much better quality. Overton's delivered them to my pond.
