Wow nbell....I guess it's rare in Texas for the tilapia to survive, but I can see how they might in South Texas. I am sure mine are dead and/or dying but I haven't seen any floaters or shore dead. I have an otter again, maybe that rascal is getting the tilapia. I took a shot at the otter, but mostly missed and then the gun jammed. I guess its possible I wounded him with a few pellets, or maybe he got scared and moved on down the road...but I suspect he's still around. Hopeful the otter meets a conibear very soon.


Fishing has never been about the fish....
