Fishing guide
Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a large herbivorous schooling fish that can be found in a variety of conditions and reservoirs. Generally, it prefers shallow places and warm water. This fish can reach 60 cm (24 inches) in length and about 5 kg (11 lb) in weight. Nile Tilapia feeds mainly in the daytime, eating detritus, larvae, mollusks, and fish eggs in all layers of the water.
If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Nile Tilapia would be to use Bloodworms on a size #1/0 hook.
If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Slugs.
The most successful lure is Yellow Grub 3 cm.
