Thanks for all the info, T.715 I'm in brownsville, where'd you grow up? I think what I'll do is Stock tilapia & TFS ASAP. let them grow through the summer and measure water temps wkly and growth rates. I'm not sure what winter water temps are going to be. I should be able to fish for them through the fall. and next spring after all data is posted (water temps) we can make a better determination. If BG will be added (maybe)I can put them in at the same time as the bass. DaveB, would you say they fight better than BG pound for pound? I've mixed opinions, some say they don't fight good at all. And can you catch them with the BG or do they (BG) pose a problem?
