Tilapia fishing Salton Sea in CA. 4/13

My buddies wanted to fish the sea once more before it got too hot. I told them "it's a go", after I found out they were biting. We brought along a friend who hasn't fished since he was 10 years old. Left the house at 10:30 am and arrived 2 hours later. We stopped at Mecca for supplies as always.

The point is always taken, I wonder why? Can it be the hot spot?

They were some fishermen on the other side of us.

My friends had plenty of elbow room to fish.

After an hour in, there was a crowd.

Left for home as the sun was setting.
Fishing was good today. It was nonstop action, from very first cast to the very last cast for us today.
All of the fish were caught with night crawlers today. The three of us caught over a hundred plus fish. We stopped fishing caused we ran out of bait. Thanks for reading and good luck on your next fishing adventure, Pokerface.

Good job out there. Hit me up some time on teampanfish. cjschock

Looks like ya'll had a great day.

Sounds like a great day. Stuck here in the midwest, what a place to be with a flyrod. Fine job.

Great report - looks like a blast. Haven't been to the sea in a long time. Can you still catch corvina?

Wow, nice catch.

Hi, pokerface12

What exactly spot/location were you caught the tilipia fish. (Is it in the recreation area)? I am planning to go there.
Thanks.

Last a heard that place was killed by salt. I thought it was fishless? Good catch.

Great catch!

Would you mind passing along some of your tactics used catching talapia? I have fished for them in canals in Florida and they can either be super finicky or super aggressive. Many times you can literally drag a worm or bait across them and they will just ease off without so much as a sniff at it.The one's we catch down there are colored up much more than yours.

Congrats on a great catch.

They say they wont bite anything that you have to spear em, but we catch one or 2 on Okeechobee fishing for Gills on Crickets. Are the salt water ones different or is it the same fish? I know they are good eatin its like snow white meat very flaky.
