Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Winter tilapia

I am by no means an expert but I picked up some Tilapia from a local source here in Alabama and he stated that his Tilapia have been in his pond for the last few years. He just adds water durng the cold months (which aren't many here) from his well and I am guessing that is keeping his water temps above what the Tilapia needs to survive.

As far as catching goes my kids caught a couple on worms the first time they tried fishing after they were in the pond. Since then they have been hard to catch. They will come close to the dock and eat floating fish feed but won't touch worms much now. Hope that helps some.
