Plan failed miserably. I got to the farm today, and the net had gotten tangled in weeds, and was down about 6" in one spot. The Tilapia were gone.
The 2 big cold snaps really stopped all action at the beds for the last 10 days and I never thought the temp would be an issue this late in April. Several nights in the 30's had the Tilapia huddled up in the deepest part of this gut, and they never seemed to move away from that area after the first few days.
I may try this again, but not this year. I still think the plan is valid, but better preparation on my part, and waiting a little longer would have helped.
Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
