Brian,
Where is Hico, Tx. (I guess I could go on Google to find out)
I actually had Tilapia over winyter in he Houston area. That may be due to the fact that we are aging trying to fill a lake, so we added 70 degree well water all winter. This gave a good place for the Tilapia to stay warm all winter.

I noticed several 6-8" fish yesterday that are paired up and seem to be getting ready to spawn. I hope to get a jump on this years Tilapia crop. I may add additional as I get a handle on the rest of the forage fish population. This will likely be rod and reel survey, cast net data, and visual from observing the feeders.
