Thanks for the replies!
I've owned the lake for ten years now. When we bought it, my three girls were young (10, 8, 6) and we were more interested in quantity than quality. The girls would bring friends out and we would always catch a mess of 1-2 pound bass, with the occasional 4-5 pounder mixed in every now and then. Now, the two older daughters are in college and the third will be heading out next year. As such, my focus has switched to trophy bass. I've stocked TFS a few times over the years, and tilapia a couple times as well -- including last year, after I noticed that some TFS had made it through the winter. I suppose I'll try the same thing this year -- see if the TFS make it. It has been pretty mild, with the exception of two cold snaps that lasted a few days each. The last one, a couple weeks ago, caused about 20% of the lake to freeze over about 1/2 inch thick. I guess we'll see...
BTW: I run three feeders for the CNBG and have a VERY healthy population!
