CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Tips for fishing tilapia

1. Tips for fishing tilapia

1. Tips for fishing tilapia: Select the water depth according to the fishing time, choose the fishing gear according to the individual fish, and the combination of bait and bait should be reasonable.

2. Choose the water depth according to the fishing time:

When to go fishing is different for each angler, after all, people have different time. So when fishing for tilapia, anglers should choose the water depth according to their own fishing time. If you go fishing for tilapia in the morning or evening, then anglers have to fish in deep water areas, because the temperature is relatively low and fish will gather in deep water areas. On the contrary, if you go fishing during the day, then anglers can fish in shallow water, because tilapia is not afraid of heat and will move in the upper water layer.

3. Choose fishing gear according to the individual fish:

Tilapias come in different sizes, so when fishing, anglers should make it clear whether they want to catch all sizes or big fish instead of small ones. Only in this way can they match the fishing gear well. If you are fishing for small fish, the line group hook should be small. On the contrary, if you are fishing for big fish, the line group hook should be large. This is more in line with the appetite of tilapia, so that you can catch fish. Of course, the length of the fishing rod is preferably about 5.4 meters, and the float is best to choose a seven-star float, which is more eye-catching.

4. Reasonable combination of nest materials and baits:

Many anglers use chicken intestines or chicken livers to fish for tilapia. Although tilapia is carnivorous, it is more interested in things in the water, so fishing with chicken intestines or livers is not ideal. It also requires the cooperation of nesting materials. Anglers can choose some river shrimps and chicken intestines cornmeal, then add water to make a paste, and then throw it into the water to lure fish. Also, choose some of the paste and insert some frozen bait, so that the fishing effect will be better.

2. How to fish wild tilapia

There are three ways to fish for tilapia: hand rod and casting rod. When using casting rod to fish for tilapia, using a string hook fishing rig is more effective than other methods. Especially for fishing for larger tilapia, casting rod with string hooks has much more obvious advantages than other fishing methods.

Methods/Steps

Fishing gear: Use a casting rod to fish for tilapia. Use a rod with a thinner tip and a softer tone. The length of the rod is more suitable between 2 and 3.6 meters, and the diameter of the fishing line is between 0.25 and 0.35 mm. It should not be too thin (because stringing hooks may also catch big fish) nor too thick. Thick lines are not conducive to straightening, which will weaken the signal of fish being hooked, making it difficult for anglers to judge the fish signal, and it is also not conducive to long-distance casting.

Fishing spot: Tilapia likes warmth and is afraid of cold, so when choosing a fishing spot, you should choose the side of a pond, lake or reservoir that is sheltered from the wind and faces the sun. In addition, you should also determine the fishing spot based on the activity patterns of tilapia and the changes in water temperature. When the water temperature is low in the early morning, you can lower the fishing group by a certain amount. When the water temperature rises around noon, you can appropriately raise the fishing group slightly to the height where the fish float.

3. Fishing method: You can make a nest or not when fishing for tilapia with string hooks. This depends on the fish situation in the fishing ground. If the fish are sparse, you can make a nest. If the fish density is high, you don’t need to make a nest. You can use the multi-point casting method to find a fishing spot with fish biting the hook in a short time, and then you can concentrate the fishing rod on one point to increase the catch rate.

4 Tips: The method of fishing tilapia with earthworms on a string hook is slightly different from that of fishing tilapia with earthworms on a hand pole. When fishing tilapia with a hand pole, you can use a whole earthworm. However, when fishing tilapia with a string hook, you can only use half of the earthworm, which is slightly longer than the hook tip. Although a whole earthworm is more obvious than a half earthworm, the fishing effect is worse than that of a half earthworm. The reason is that tilapia only bites the part without the hook. This phenomenon is also prone to false signals of biting the hook, which makes it easy to raise the pole and catch empty hooks. Therefore, it is best to use half an earthworm to hook the hook. Tilapia eats fiercely and it is easy to eat dead hooks. When the fish bites the hook frequently, the frequency of raising the pole to collect the fish can be appropriately reduced. After the signal of being hooked appears at the tip of the pole, you only need to pull the pole, tighten the fishing line, and then fish. When the tip of the pole shows 3 to 4 fish signals, raise the pole to collect the fish again, and you can hook multiple fish with one hook, which reduces fatigue and increases happiness.

3. What bait should be used for fishing tilapia, other than soft worms?

To be honest, the effect of fishing with lures for Tilapia is not very good. If you want to fish, you can choose to use small sequins or vibs. Tilapia often nests on the shore to breed. If you throw a fake bait into its protection range, it will attack it thinking that there is a small fish to destroy it. Of course, occasionally in some waters, there are Tilapia that chase fish because of their usual feeding habits. You can also use small sequins or vibs to fish.

4. What kind of light should be used for night fishing of tilapia

Yellow light and blue light. The blue light is the most commonly used night fishing light. When using the blue light, any small movement of the float will be clearly visible, but long-term use can easily cause visual fatigue, dizziness, and blurred vision. It is recommended that you do not stare at the float for a long time when fishing at night.

If you want to fish for tilapia, you should pay attention to the following:

When choosing a fishing spot, you should select a place near the inlet of running water, downwind, or where there are fallen trees, sunken ships, or debris in the water. Noon is suitable for floating fishing. Try to choose a quiet or secluded location near the shore. The afternoon when the temperature is low is suitable for fishing in the middle and lower layers.

When choosing bait for fishing tilapia, people usually choose frozen marine fish, duck liver, goose liver, etc., steam them and mix them together, and then adjust them to the appropriate state when fishing.

When choosing fishing gear for fishing tilapia, you should choose high-quality strong lines, choose main lines between No. 1.5 and No. 3, and sub-lines around No. 0.8 to No. 2. Pay attention to the sensitivity and concealment of the line group, and reduce the line number appropriately.

When choosing a fish hook, choose a sleeve-type hook without barbs, so that you can quickly unload the fish after the fish flies. The fish float should be a light, slender and sensitive float. A float with large buoyancy should also be paired with a large lead sinker to filter out more false signals.

When fishing for tilapia, the line group used should be stronger, because tilapia struggles more vigorously and is easier to control with a hard-tuned fishing rod.
