Since I haven't posted in a while I wanted to share some updated photos of the pond and it's new inhabitants.
This picture was taken early one morning while enjoying the first cup of coffee after a night of camping at the property. It's amazing how much better the coffee tastes at the pond.

This is one of the Overton Strain CNBG that were stocked on the last day of February, 2009.

I have been able to catch a few of the Tilapia that were stocked on June 12, 2009. The Pure Florida, and F1 LMB were also stocked on that date. I didn't realize how dirty the Tilapia was on the opposite side or I would have cleaned him up. I was too busy concentrating on the Condello Technique for the photo op.

We were seeing plenty of young Tilapia about three weeks after the original stocking.

I made another trip to see Todd Overton today, 8-1-09, for HSB and Northern LMB.


I was concerned about transporting and stocking the fish during the warm weather but Todd said not to worry. He was right again. Every fish made the 4 hour trip in perfect condition as there were zero morts. I'll send more photos later when I can catch some of the June stocked LMB.
