James,

Without conditioning my fish to corn, i.e. throwing it out along with the fish food, I tried it last year as bait for Tilapia...didn't work at all because the BG hit it almost as soon as it hit the water.

Someone told me to soak it in almond extract first...tried that and the BG went wild, but no Tilapia and nothing else except BG. Maybe the conditioning act would help.

Rad has also advocated conditioning Tilapia to cabbage and other veggies. I haven't tried that, but whatever is tried in my ponds, it has to include a plan for BG avoidance in order to catch Tilapia.



Heybud,

Try to do a before and after on your LMB. I'm betting you will see substantial weight gains on the LMB and overall increase in BG numbers come November.
