will you please update your profile and add your location. There are quite a few folks on here from Florida who will most likely be very helpful if they know where you're at. Central Florida is a pretty big area. You're likely going to get a little heat for wanting to catch tilapia. They're about as popular as carp on here. Hey, one man's medicine............

Thanks hookie2. But you didn't add your location to your profile. If you'll do that then we won't have to ask you every time you post where you're at. Does them being wild tilapia make them harder to catch? I know nothing about fishing for tilapia, only about eating them, which I don't. Add your location to your profile and folks from your area or thereabouts are going to join in. This is a great group of people.

Welcome to the Forum, hookie 2, I have seen them on restaurant menus in FL. I have never ordered them but a lady of the couple we were with did and she said they were good. I have heard that the farmed tilapia from Asia were not to be eaten, they had some kind of a nasty.

Hookie2...welcome to the FStage. Read up on Tilapia DIET. They hang out at Combined Sewer Outlets. The Wild ones are the most guilty. The farmed can control their diet. Wild do whatever they want. I used to buy them at Grocery Outlet but once I heard what they eat...Preferred crappy diet...literally I have avoided them for fish tacos...even though they are cheap as crap...:)

Most folk around here in TX cast net them. I hear you can catch them on peas.... if you really wanted to.

Actually a lot of the better tasting seafood are scavengers. I love blue claw crabs which eat the crap nothing else wants
