Tilapia

[agelesssone]

Caught 101 tilapia, shellcracker, crappie mix today.
Gave away forty, looks like I got 40 fish to clean.
Obviously I didn't keep every fish, thought keeping 80 was enough.

I watched some guy tied up to the barrier at the steam-plant discharge all day catching fish. It didn't look like your boat... More info is necessary regarding your days endeavors.

3/16 oz drop shot weight, #6 gold hook, 3 ft of 6# fluorocarbon line, 1/2 inch piece of night crawler, drop to the bottom, tighten line, pull in fish, repeat 101 times (or more).
My reel is one that I got at a garage sale in a tackle box that I paid $5.00 for (box, one $9.00 lure, the reel, hooks, full spool of Trilene XL 8 lb test, metal stringer, rope stringer and assorted other stuff), rod is a Walmart special, light action.
And the reel is spooled with 22 lb braid!

22 lb Gliss braid is about like 4 lb mono but no memory, no twist, no stretch. If a fish farts within three feet, you can feel it.

Very nice Merv. I've been thinking about trying the gliss line. Steam plant or another secret location?
