I am going to wear my cast net out when the water temp gets in the low 70's, catching the ones big enough to fillet. I guess you can fillet them ??? But, i believe 1 am going to have thousands of 2-5 inch tilipia that my 6-8" SMB have not been able to eat.If i were to introduce a couple of large predators,my SMB would be at risk.. I thought about a compost pile,but i really don't have any need for one.I could pitch them over the fence into a big pasture, but I'm afraid i might draw snakes and other critters to the area. I could dig a big hole,cover the fish with some dirt,and keep a cover on the hole till I am done.I figure it may be an ongoing process for awhile.Or, i could do nothing, but we have dogs and cats that access to the pond.That could get ugly!!
I am leaning toward the hole,but would certainly entertain other suggestions..
