First, living habits

1. Omnivorous: Tilapia is an omnivorous fish whose main food is plant food, in which young fish mainly feed on zooplankton, and gradually change into plant food with the growth of fish, and mainly feed on plant food under artificial culture conditions.

2. Middle-lower layer: Tilapia is a middle-lower layer fish, which generally moves in the middle-lower layer water, but seasonal changes, cold and warm water temperature, high and low air pressure, bait environment, water level fluctuation and turbid water quality will change the active water layer of tilapia.

3. Thermophilic: The survival temperature of tilapia is 15 ~ 35℃, and it is dormant when the water temperature is lower than 15℃. If the water temperature is lower than 10℃, it will freeze to death. The highest critical temperature is 40 ~ 4 1℃, the optimum growth temperature is 28 ~ 32℃, and the breeding temperature is above 20℃.

Second, the choice of fishing position

1. Water plant area: You can choose to fish in the water plant area. One aquatic plant area is a natural hiding place for tilapia, while the other aquatic plant area is often rich in food. However, if there is a large area of aquatic plants, it is necessary to fish in the gap between them.

2, cake tip: Tilapia can choose to fish with a cake tip. In fact, the cake tip is also the first choice for fishermen, because the cake tip is actually a threshold for fish, and over time it has become a "green" channel for fish on both sides to feed.

3. tributary of the river: you can choose to fish tilapia in the tributary of the river. The so-called tributary refers to the intersection of tributary and mainstream, where there is often enough food. In addition, tilapia also has the habit of turning into branches by the river when foraging.

Third, selection of nest materials

1, Sake rice: Sake rice is the most commonly used nest material for anglers, which is very attractive to crucian carp, carp, bream and tilapia. However, the amount of sake rice used for nesting should not be too large. Only two or three handfuls should be used before fishing, and then a small amount of nests will continue until the fish mouth slows down.

2. Grains: Grains are commonly used by fishermen, and the most classic is Laotan Grains under Xifeng. Its advantages are good broad spectrum, high speed of attracting fish and long time of keeping fish. You only need to put a little before fishing, and you can continue to attract and retain fish.

3. Granular feed: Granular feed is a common nest material for fishermen, especially for tilapia fishing in black pits. The advantage is that pellet feed is more suitable for feeding tilapia, but the disadvantage is that the speed of attracting fish may not be as good as that of rice.
