Rad,

Sounds like you have sure figured your Tilapia out, I have not been targeting them much lately, but am going to start "cabbage conditioning feeding" today! My experience with Tilapia has been that they pretty much shut down after I catch one or two in the same area its amazing that you are catching up to 15 from the same spot.

You mention that you are catching them on the bottom also, how deep is your pond and how is your water clarity? I have tried several times to catch Tilapia on the bottom with no success, my water stays somewhat stained.

By the way I did catch an 11 pound Pacu three days ago on a 4" minnow, so you are probably getting some predation from them on the smaller Tilapia that are being spawned.
