Tilapia is a small fish that eats aggressive bait and grows quickly. However, it is difficult to catch a good harvest if you don’t understand its habits. You should pay attention to the following points when fishing for tilapia. 1. In still water areas, fishing for tilapia depends on the wind direction and the catch will be relatively large. In a pond or reservoir, when the south wind blows, fishing is done on the north bank, when the north wind blows, fishing is done on the south bank, and so on for other wind directions. As long as the temperature is suitable, there will be a harvest. 2. Fishing based on the "warm-loving" characteristic of tilapia will result in better harvests. In summer (mainly fishing in the middle and upper layers), sometimes it rains continuously and makes people feel cool. For several days in a row, the river water surges. It is an excellent opportunity to catch catfish, carp, and crucian carp, but it is more difficult to catch tilapia in this kind of weather. Caught. When the rain stops and the sun rises and the temperature gets higher, tilapias take the bait frequently. We have a saying here: "It is difficult for gods to catch fish at noon." But at noon when the weather is fine after rain and the temperature rises, it is the prime time for tilapia fishing. In winter (bottom hooks are mainly used for fishing in winter and spring), it is difficult to catch tilapia in the river. If there is an open reservoir or pool, and there is a shoal area on the shore, and the temperature is above 17 degrees for several days in a row, you can go fishing if you are interested, and you will never fail. If there is a southerly wind of level 2 to 3 (the southerly wind blows here in winter and spring, the weather is generally warm) and the temperature is around 22℃-24℃, and you face the wind and waves in the shallow water area of ????the north shore, at 15-20 It is possible to catch fish even in water depths of 1cm. Although the fish is not that big, it can pull your 4-meter-long fishing rod away with two heavy weights. The larger tilapia is found thirty or forty meters away from the shore, with a water depth of about one meter. It is worth mentioning that it is difficult to hook tilapia when the temperature is lower than 15℃ for several days in a row; around April 20th to May 20th every year, it is difficult to catch tilapia in reservoirs or ponds. When you come to the shore, you won’t eat the hook; in the river, tilapia starts to eat in early June. After every heavy rain from late June to August, the best time for fishing for tilapia is in the three days starting from the second day after the river water rises. Fish orgasm. 3. About bait, fishing spots and others. Regarding bait for fishing tilapia, we rarely use it here. Especially in the river, I have never seen it used. Useful in ponds or reservoirs, but not very common. As for bait, earthworms are mainly used. In places where no one often fishes, small red earthworms dug up from vegetable fields or houses are the best. When the tilapia is feeding, the float sinks or the rod is pulled horizontally to catch the fish. In places where people often fish, it is difficult for small red earthworms to be effective. Because there are many small white minnows in places where people often fish, the tilapias will be eaten "halfway" before they reach the small white minnows as soon as the hook is hooked. The solution is to replace it with giant earthworms. The earthworms by the Wuming River here are as big as the heads of chopsticks (or slightly smaller), about 10 to 15 centimeters long. The best thing is to use the whole one and hang the hook to about three-quarters of the length of the earthworm. Of course, it can also be divided into two sections, but the effect is not as good as using the whole earthworm. The second is to use shrimps, but after practice, the effect is not as good as earthworms. It is worth mentioning that when several people are fishing next to each other, it is best to use small red earthworms, otherwise they will not be able to compete with others. Because there are many earthworms "disposed" in front of tilapia at the same time, it first chooses to eat small red earthworms instead of large earthworms. Regarding the choice of fishing spots, in rivers, when the temperature is high after rain in summer, you should choose a sandy bottom river bed with a water depth of about 1 to 2 meters and a slow-flowing river section. The banks of such a river section are good for fishing for tilapia. Fishing grounds. In a narrow river section with rapid water flow, you should choose a stone or mound protruding from the top. The area of ??the slow flow area below does not need to be large, only about 1 square meter. The bottom is sand and the water is relatively small. When it is muddy, big fish can be caught at a depth of about 0.5 meters. When the water is relatively clear, you should find a place with flowing water (also a slow flow). Tie the float about 1 meter away from the bait hook. Throw the hook to the current place and let the bait drift with the water. It is also easy to catch tilapia ( The water depth is assumed to be about 2 meters deep). After the water begins to recede after the rain, if you are in a deep-water river section, please choose the shallow-water slow-flow area on the beach opposite the deep water of Big Bend. The beach here gradually extends from the shore to the deep water area. If there are several green grasses stretching into the water, There is a step on the shore and the water depth is within 1.5 meters. This kind of place is a good fishing spot. There is an inlet where domestic wastewater flows into the river. The upper and lower sections have places where water falls due to dams or gates, and the water level is shallow and slow. Tilapia can be caught at a depth of about 0.3 meters (regardless of whether the water is clear or muddy) , just hide it when the water is clear). To sum it up: look for slow currents in fast-flowing waters, and it is best not to stay in still water areas; look for sandy bottoms on shores with many rocks; look for shallow areas in deep water; and it is best not to hook in areas with large backflows.

In a pond or reservoir, if there is a Feishui ditch extending outward from the shore, with aquatic plants growing on both sides of the ditch, even if the water is only 0.3 meters deep, if there is a level 2 to 3 wind blowing towards the shore, this is very ideal. Fishing spots. The ditches between ponds or between ponds and reservoirs are good fishing spots. Fishing spots are provided near the waterside where ducks are raised, or near the excrement ditch discharged into the water by the pig farm on the waterside. The mouth of the highway culvert or the surrounding quiet water area are all mud banks, and only some of the banks have stones extending into the water. The places at the mouth of the culvert and the stone banks are the fishing spots to visit. Hope this helps and wish you good luck.
