I haven't posted anything in awhile but just want to join the many East Texas pond managers with great ponds. It has been a good year for us this year will all the rain but that too creates some problems. I am about 15 miles north of Sulphur Springs and have a 2 acre pond and this years Tilapia stocking is doing exceptionally well. Can't wait to start harvesting them. Hope you all have a happy and healty summer.
Pondrookie, I �share crop� on my son�s pond�s about five miles north of your place in Delta County, and indeed it has been a frustrating, exciting, and productive year for East Texas pond managers with great ponds.
We have survived records drought years, floods for some, and I have lucked out on meeting my personal goals of managing productive �put and take ponds�, producing near trophy class HSB, CNBG and RES, although trophy fish are not my objective.
For our many out of state friends, as well as �neoTexans�, we need to clarify what �East Texas� really means:
N.E. Texas
East Texas
�Deep� East Texas
S.E. Texas
For those unfamiliar with Texas distances, it�s >250 miles miles from Sulphur Springs (N.E. Texas) to Houston (S.E. Texas)
Same wishes to all:
�Hope you all have a happy and healthy summer.�
