Yeah after researching about Tilapia it doesn't seem like a horrible fish for the bass and honestly we never get freezes down here so it wouldn't be so bad. Now that I'm thinking back to all the times I watched the feeder go off and them absolutely destroy the fish feed I'm thinking I was just way over populated with Tilapia. It's not a large pond so my bass carrying capacity is not massive.

My main issue with this pond has been water turbidity that I'm having a real hard time solving so I'm going to see how it does over the coming weeks and if I start to see better clarity I think my culprit was the over populated Tilapia.

My new problem is trying to determine if I have enough BG to sustain the bass. I'm thinking about just stocking a bunch more and seeing how they do. I can feed the heck out of them anyway I have a 300lb feeder that I use.

Thanks for the help all.
