I use a somewhat unreliable, unperfected, original approach, which when it works, it is spectacular, but when it doesn't work, its just another day in paradise.
After a cold front, especially one which takes the night temps into the 40's, the afternoon full, bright sunshine shinning on the shallows sets up an opportunity to lure tremendous numbers of Tilapia away from BG and any predators. I use range cubes as the lure. In fact, I just went out and "seeded" a couple of ponds. Around 3 this afternoon, I'll sample the seeding efforts. If its right, I'll catch dozens of Tilapia, more than I can clean....if it isn't, its just another day at the ranch. All I need is one day when its right and I can fill our freezer with more Tilapia than we can eat this winter. Its a blast when it works, absolute blast.
Unfortunately, it is not perfected yet, but I'm still working and refining the approach.
