Tilapia are back and ready to begin bedding I think. These fish are more of a nucense to me for three reasons. 1: They have small mouths in comparison to there body so if I am not using really small hooks, they can pick the bait right off. 2: They are no where near as fun fishing because they have no fight in them they strugle for 5 seconds and then give up.  3: When they begin bedding they are very territorial and will chase off any bass that do come by >. Well it is better then nothing. I caught 4 on Sunday with a pretty big one on my last cast. I was using live night crawlers for bait.

Nice fish! Is that the same type of Tilapia that are all over the grocery stores?

Yeah it is. My lake has tons of African (black in color) and the Blue ones. When they are breeding they become really blue.

are they native to africa.Cause they live here naturaly

Funny you should mention tilapia,

I had a hankerin for a fish dinner the other day.

So I bought a pound of tilapia fillets

cooked them in the barbie with lemon (of course) olive oil, chopped onions and peppers, salt and pepper w/ a dash of balsamic vinegar.

boiled up some pasta, served with a spicy red garlic and herb sauce.

Oh my,

I thought I died and went to heaven.........

almost as good as crappie....really, they are that good.

I call them "african" because that is what one of the Websites i used to identify them when I first caught them called it.

yeah they probably are because they were put here by FWC to control west nile virus

Nice fish!! I didn't realize they got that big. I thought of them as a panfish kinda like blue gill and perch............

good eating fish, lots of protein

I have caught one in Doral lakes using earthworm . It was small so let it go but it did go for the earthworm.

Come to think of it EVERY fish I have caught there has been small
