In spring, tilapia's active water layer adjusts to changes in air temperature and water temperature.
In early spring, when temperatures are warm and cold, tilapia may choose to move in deep water as they do in winter, so bottom fishing may be a good option. However, as the temperature gradually rises, tilapia will gradually move towards shallow waters. In mid-spring, when the temperature is right, try fishing in shallow waters with a depth of 1 to 2 meters. When the temperature is on the high side, tilapia may prefer shallows with a high water temperature of half to 1 meter and abundant aquatic plants, and it may be more suitable to fish in the middle of the water at this time.
In addition, although tilapia is mainly benthic, it is affected by changes in external conditions such as water temperature, and it will have vertical movements such as day and night. For example, after dawn as the water temperature rises, tilapia will gradually swim towards the pelagic layer of the water, and they can even be seen swimming in schools in the upper layer at noon. In the afternoon, as the sun sets, the water temperature drops, and they swim to the middle and lower levels. Therefore, at different times of spring, whether the bottom or the middle water is fished needs to be adjusted flexibly.
When fishing tilapia, in addition to considering whether to fish bottom or half-water, there are other factors to consider, including the choice of fishing tackle, the use of bait, and the selection of fishing positions.
The first is the choice of fishing tackle. For tilapia fishing, it is generally recommended to use a hard or extra hard rod because tilapia has a lot of momentum and power. At the same time, it is very important to choose the right fishing line, and in general, it is better to use a strong fishing line from size 2 to 4. For hooks, it is recommended to use a long-handled wide door hook for better penetration into the hard mouth of tilapia.
The second is the use of bait. Tilapia prefers fishy bait, so you can choose some bait that contains shrimp meal, fish meal and other ingredients. The bait that is more effective for tilapia fishing is Yumenggu Tilapia, which is an efficient bait for tilapia fishing.
Finally, there is the selection of fishing positions. In spring, tilapia prefer to move in areas where aquatic weeds are abundant, so you can choose a fishing spot close to the aquatic grass area. In addition, the place where the current is slower and the water depth is moderate is also a place where tilapia like to gather, so you can choose this spot for fishing.
To sum up, tilapia fishing needs to consider a number of factors, including the choice of fishing tackle, the use of bait, and the selection of fishing positions. In the actual fishing process, it is necessary to flexibly adjust the fishing method and strategy according to the specific conditions of the fishing ground to better catch tilapia. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the protection of the environment, the rational use of resources, and the realization of civilized fishing.
