Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Its time to get together (finally) In East Texas

By now nearly everyone has had the opportunity to choose to get vaccinated if they prefer.


SO.......Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!!!


It's time to plan a pondboss get together!


We are replanning our get together from last spring to this September! Most likely the third weekend. With options for the second or forth as the backup.


Things have changed around the pond and I look forward to the questions and sharing some of the successes we have had improving our ponds.

Before any of us get butt hurt let's stop. We all have different opinions and some feel VERY strongly about theirs. Let's try and keep this about wht we all love and that's ponds. PLEASE AND THANK YOU. But someday I do want to get together and meet more of you.

As one who travels the world, Covid is nothing to take lightly. I understand the emotions and agree this is complex.

BUT I agree this place is about our love of our ponds.

Speaking of... Our Tilapia are doing great in the new brood ponds. We started with 3 males and 11 females and took 50- 70 pounds out after nine weeks. Now it's time to seine again! I bet we will see another 40 -60 pounds this time. And when we finally pull all the fish at the end of season, I bet we will get another 50 pounds or more again.

So far we have pulled and saved well over 100 fish for Tilopatopia. They are now all over 5 inches in size. I need a larger swirl/settling tank....

The rest of the Tilapia went to the big pond and are on the algae eating team. They are winning!

I also wear my previous t-shirt

Myth busting: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html

"In today’s MMWR, a study of COVID-19 infections in Kentucky among people who were previously infected with SAR-CoV-2 shows that unvaccinated individuals are more than twice as likely to be reinfected with COVID-19 than those who were fully vaccinated after initially contracting the virus."

Pat,

Next weekend we are going to seine again. I'll post the results. I expect great results.

Also, Brood pond number 5 get Tilapia as it is finally ready for some fish. I expect one good seining by the end of Oct.
