BrainH,
My ponds are 3.5 acres, 2 acres(new, no Tilapia stocked this year), 1/2 acre, and 1/4 acre. Only the 3.5 acre pond is set up with artificial fish feeding....and it has some whopper Tilapia.
The stockers were 4 to 6 inches on April 1 of this year. Many are now 2 pounds and one at least is more than that(in the 3.5 acre pond)
The 1/2 acre and 1/4 acre ponds are very old...over 50 years old. They now look "clean" after a season with the Tilapia.
I noticed the weather forcast for our area this weekend is for lows in the low 40s and highs in the low 60s. Should be great for afternoon Tilapia catching...and getting closer to that 50 degree water temperature.
