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.



Fishing has never been about the fish....
