Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - tilapia

I am in central Texas with a 2 acre mature pond in my back yard. I have plenty of blue gill and nice bass (native along with some Floridas. I feed several times a day during the warm months.
My question is this - is it worth the money to stock some Tilapia during the spring?? I know they probably will not survive during winter (although we typically do not get that cold here) - thanks for the input

4 yr old 8 acre pond, first year to stock TP. I came nowhere close to the recommended stocking rate. I will say the sago pond weed and FA took a big nose dive within 60 days of stocking. I dont know if it was the grass carp (20 new ones) that helped pound the weeds or the TP. Neither ate on my American Pond weed, so that was good.

Caught some big TP off the dock so I know some of them survived the year. I'm curious what pops up when the water temp goes down soon. I'm going to stock them again next year.
