Just wanted to close the loop on my Tilapia questions and the comment that the spring water might keep the water warm enough to overwinter the Tilapia in northeast Texas.
I was at the pond today. Overnight temp was about 35 degrees, but it got into low sixties by late aftenoon. I took the following temps between 12:00 p.m and 12:30.
Water temp about 18" below the surface was between 52 and 53 degrees. But water temp at one of the springs I can get to, was about 56 degrees.
Tilapia still alive.
