L. I am also located in E Texas, N of Marshall w of Shreveport @ 3.5 acres. last year I added 5 lbs of Tp because I had no predators and they spawned like crazy had them everywhere some in maybe the two pound range and had no Fa. This yr I have lmb (Overton's Lone Star legacy's) and because of two many Tp last yr, I went with lower than recommended stocking numbers this year, I think it was around 30 lbs of 6" or bigger sized and I now see Fa around the pond. it is the only vegetation I have in the pond, so I am ok with it. My point from what I have seen the Tp numbers need to be high if u want to control Fa. And predators (if u have any) could be making a difference in your Tp numbers. And the Tp loved the shallow areas where they would spawn and they liked the hotter water in the summer near or in the shallows.
