pics of my return lines on the last page if you didnt see. ;)

the holes were as big as the timbers thats why the top is like that in these pics.
nothing is screwed on.
i havent started on the filter side of the overflows.
also have to cut lines in the caps.
this is just to give ya an idea how i plan to do it.
"it got late last night so i had to drill the plywood and styrofoam in the house" :screwy: :D

You can keep them in season if you have a valid F/W fishing license, but raises the question of returning them to the wild in off season (there was a discussion in another forum about this so won't go there here). It is possible to get a permit to keep them year-round (for study) but it's ridiculously complicated to get.

I wonder, if you imported them from a different country? (you know, like Port Charlotte :screwy:).

:topic: kinda...You don't catch any baby tilapia down there do you.
