Todd, thanks for the info. I've experienced most of the numbers Todd listed, and 1 and 6 first come to mind.
Waiting for spring tilapia gets tough in late March, but stocking them a little later has worked for me. Spring water temps here can fluctuate almost daily, and waiting until things stabilize temp wise seems to get tilapia in the pond and nesting almost immediately.
I just wrapped up number 6 this last fall, and although the numbers were outstanding, me thinks I'll be back on the late season tilapia list this year. My cashew shaped hatchery pond is just not real conducive to aggressive seining.
