Interesting I was wondering where the Mozambique tilapia really where because I personally haven't seen them. They do go huge though (three times the size of the black chins at least), very fun to catch in florida, but won't really hit anything when they are bedding, unless you do the "tick them off...

You will be pretty unsucessful from shore, for the reasons mentioned above. There are plenty of smallies in the streams, and the barras and tevally are pretty easy to catch in the canals. I would look into a guide service if you're dying for pbass though.

Awa awa (ladyfish/ poorman's tarpon* where I'm from). Got it in the lake? or just showing of the catch, because they can go in pretty fresh water. Doubt it was from the lake unless someone has been releasing ladyfish? hahaha

The black chin might be an interesting saltwater bait. I have caught a lot of barracuda on small ones bc's behind a whipping bubble with a medium retrieve, and a couple random things like eels and moi dunking them. I have also heard stories from several fishing uncles saying theyve seen ulua busting...

Oreochromis mossambicus - mozambique tilapia Oreochromis macrochir - longfin tilapia Oreochromis aureus - blue tilapia Tilapia zillii - redbelly Tilapia rendalli - redbreast Maybe a couple more, "Tilpia" is a name that covers several genera of species, and many of them are farmed and traded without ...

looks like a red belly tilapia

That's the story I'm sticking with.

also, just cuz I'm a punk and my brain sees loop holes. How can you claim realistic colors if your too scared to get close to a live one? lol lol

Was this a lake wilson catch?

Judge the following account at your own digression. SWIM (someone who isn't myself) [or is it?] may or may not have dropped a couple lines a few weeks ago, maybe last year actually, could have been yesterday too, but we'll settle on it happening in 2014... Not saying yes not saying no to any trolls ...

Wondering if anyone knows if res #4 is still holding cats? I know its off limits, but I have been there a few times without fishing rods and haven't seen anyone regulating the area. Not saying Im gonna fish there. Just wondering if anyone has since the closed it?

I'm trying to plan a little backpacking fishing trip for Kauai. Anyone here care to share information on where I could find some rainbows and other interesting freshwater fish there?

Same thing happens when you go to a craft store and I come out with feathers, pipe cleaners, and corks. They also ask why a guy is buying scrapbook stuff lol lol

Wacky rig senko is the go too for Okeechobee

It's probably too warm for spotted bass, plus there max size is rather small compared to LMB's and even Smallies. I would rather see the lake stocked with hard fighting fish like Smallies, Snakeheads, and Maybe some Tambaqui (Pacu). Wild Pacu are the best tasting fish on this planet hands down, and ...
