The kids dropped about 1/2 dozen blue gill, and 1/2 dozen sunfish in there last summer. But I have not seen any evidence they are still there. It is a fairly small pond. Maybe 1/8-1/6 acre. SIL also planted about 100 crawdads and 100 baby cats. Not sure which variety.
They are catching smallmouths about 10 to 11 inches the last couple weeks on Mepps spinners. (all stuck at home bored)
17 year old grand daughter, used to driving to school and playing sports, and hanging with her friends and boyfriend, has been shelter in place for three weeks, so she is sitting at the side of the pond with rod and reel almost every day. PaPa's early fishing lesson's must have stuck.
So anyway, I will encourage him to stock another 100 of the tilapia. Maybe some will survive the bass long enough to spawn.
We should see evidence of the bass spawning soon.
