Meadowlark I think I am having the same problem with the warm water. I just can't seem to catch the tilapia this year. I see the small ones come almost to the shore feeding on the fish pellets but lately I have had no success at all catching the larger ones. It has been very warm here lately and so maybe thats the problem. I just don't know. I am going to try the range cubes next and try to lure them in to the shore. How big are your hybrids? They are becoming my favorite pond sport fish because they grow fast fight hard and can be caught!
