I like the idea of using tilapia as the main forage base in S. Texas. That's been tried in Mexico but I don't remember the results. My only concern is the possibility of an unusual, but not unknown, big freeze. Rare, but it can happen. If you think about it, citrus crops have been destroyed in the valley along with those on both coasts.
For that reason, I would be afraid to ignore bluegill.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
