Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Tilapia Harvest

This is also my first year with tilapia. But I'm planning to fish and harvest mid to late September, while they are still fairly active and willing to eat. Might as well have some fun with it, right?

I've been experimenting with different ways of catching tilapia so that next month I have it figured out when we do our catch and cook party.

Good Idea To Try - I took a cork from a wine bottle and cut a piece about the size of a piece of feed. Put it on a small egg hook and then tied to my fly rod. BOOM! Caught three tilapia in less than 5 minutes. So far best thing I've found. Some of these guys are getting really big. And their offspring based on the one smaller one that I caught are the size of a medium size BG.
