In the weather let me get out for a couple of hours after work. I got a mixed bag like I usually do back in my office but the tilapia have moved in trying to stay warm. They’re tropical and invasive and do t do well in cold water. I started slow and began to wonder if they were moving at all and this little guy came to say howdy.

I might even learn to get all of the fish in the pic sometime. They hit like their normal aggressive selves. I worked my way down thru areas that have worked in the past and got a few here and there. Even got two Crappie back to back. Must’ve been the only two cuz I couldn’t find any others.

That second one had a good sammich on him but he went back. Overall I got near twenty and the temps were up near seventy after a 39* start this morning. Here’s a few more pics and I hope y’all stay warm…..Skeet

That’s about a 4 1/2lb Tilapia that was hooked in the dorsal. What a fight!
