Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations What to do with Tilapia come fall?

I like the idea of removing what I can...either dead or alive. My pond is in my fenced in back yard, and I would not want to encourage any critters to come in the yard. Plus, I stocked for two reason...kill the mosquito's and have some fun. Fishing them out sounds like fun to me. I can invite some friends over with their small kids. Good family time.

I thought about putting a minnow trap in the pond in the fall and see if I can catch some small ones...winter them in an IBC tote in the garage for the winter, then I would have something to start with in the spring. I will have to figure out if I am even supposed to need them next year or not.
