Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Tilapia...first spawn

Eddie,
This is my 3rd year with Tilapia. Last year I accounted for all but 3 Tilapia that I stocked. I caught 3 Tilapia that end up in my skillet and had 19 floaters in December(all biguns'). The bass must have ate all the fish from the numerous spawns because there were no small floaters when it got cold. I gave them a respectful funeral and burial(along with some help from the Turkey Vultures). I have more CNBG of all sizes this year than ever before since I bought this place ('04). I now have more high protein forage(CNBG & Tilapia) for my LMB and newly-acquired HSB. The FA has been almost nonexistent the last 2 years also.
I have put in 10lbs.(22-26 fish) each year into my .75 acre pond.
