IMO, tilapia stocking numbers are one of those “it all depends” choices with stocking rates. Besides the fact that he is only about 10 miles from Overton Fisheries, I would hazard a guess that those 10# numbers were Todd’s since Pat’s pond is fairly new?

Todd just stocked 25# tilapia in our 2 acre pond and we have no FA - just wanted to bump up our forage base.
“It all depends”?

I really don't know what he should stock -- just trying to point out someone who does. I'm sure Todd knows very well.

Easy fellers: it was my idea to put 10# . That's all the extra cash I had this week to throw away on bait, I don't have a lot of FA and like Mr G says it depends, extra forage was the main reason- take the heat off the CNBG a little this spring. We will see if I need to add more
