Bass Needed , willing to buy or help remove any ponds that are over stocked with in 40-50 miles of Sulphur Springs or Emory.
Had my pond sprayed last year by a company in Caddo Mills and all my fish died after they sprayed for duckweed.
As it fills again this fall I am looking for 1-3 lb fish (Bass ) to bring it back faster than fingerlings . So my grandkids can catch a few.
Call or text if interested.

Not having much luck finding anyone close and I know there has to be a few that are over stocked or just cow watering holes that have a few in it.
What I might mention without naming them is I have 2 bad issues with this company out of Caddo Mills.
Bought some fish from them two - three years back and they showed up in bags and 90 percent were Dead.
They did refund my $ so that helped. I blamed that on the driver as much as the company.

Marc we used Overton and were extremely satisified. I met a guy half way from Buffalo and drove to Mills County. we had almost zero dead ones.

Mark I may have what you described, I’m in Palmer over by Ennis-
Distance is right at your distance limit though-
PM me if you want to see if what I have will help you-
I don’t want anything in return if that factors into things-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

Marc let us know how the offer works out. I just think it's cool when people help others out.

Tilapia really get after duck weed...cheaper and healthier than spraying.

Yes, duck weed isn't a favorite of grass carp but they will eat it but prefer grasses, elodea, and water lilies and cattails. Tilapia love duck weed and algae, so they make a great pond combo. Been using both for several decades now and never use chemicals.
Tilapia also grow great bass...see my new years day thread.

I picked up some blue catfish in the summer from Overton and hauled them nearly 4 hours and there wasn’t a single dead one. They do a great job over there. They also appear to really know what they’re doing when it comes to their product.
