Don,
Thanks for the reply. I caught a couple of 5 pounder pacu from a friends pond and they were really fun. I am using wire leader or long shank hooks trying to solve the teeth problem. I am going to try to manage the pond for year around water. I built the pond in a former rice paddy and the water table is very high, I believe if it were not for the clay soil the pond would be crystal clear. I am thinking about stocking transverse barbs as I have heard that they can be caught with lures, do you know anything about them? Re: after catching a couple of pacu they, the pacu, became very scarce and thats when we caught the tilapia. The cabbage was chinese by the way.
