I bought vegetables from the outdoor market, midday so they were not exactly fresh, but cheap. Cabbage, of course, cucumber, green beans and corn. And, as usual the tilapia ate all of it. The cucumber and green bean are like the apple, to float the hook the piece needs to be to big for my fish to take in one bite. Cut in small pieces, all of it is gone. The corn is the same it sinks the hook, but each individual kernal floats, is eaten almost as soon as it hits the water. I am only fishing the surface now because it gives me instant results. The reason I started the vegetables in the first place was to cut down on the cost of the pellets and these fish are supposed to but veggie heads anyway. I caught 6 tilapia in about 15 minutes. As I said before, now the real challenge is baiting the hook and casting cabbage. Sounds pretty manly huh?, "I caught this here messo fish on chinese cabbage." A small caveat, they may be eating some of this stuff because its new and different. Another caveat, they all are fat, no body is under fed. Somebody try this please so the rest of you don't think I am crazy.
