In the south, tilapia, an alien household, has flooded the waters.
But not to mention, this alien species that endangers the ecology tastes no different in the meat quality of tilapia in the inland of the mainland, whether it is saltwater tilapia or freshwater.
In the southern region, anglers catch tilapia in the waters where tilapia is infested.
According to surveys, in the southern waters, tilapia has become a competitor to the silver carp, but it has not been cleaned up in those ten years.
Doesn't it shine on tilapia?
Or is it wrong?
Or to say what anglers think, freshwater tilapia and saltwater tilapia seem to be different from each other.
Could it be that the tilapia in saltwater eats meat, and the tilapia in freshwater is vegetarian?
I don't know.
The habits of tilapia.
It turns out that tilapia is a typical alien species, native to eastern Africa, and mainly lives in Lake Victoria.
Later, it was introduced and propagated in captivity in Fujian and Hainan in China.
Later, with the construction of sluices, tilapia spread along the river along the coast to every body of water in the south.
As an alien species, it has now enclosed every body of water in southern China, whether it is rivers, lakes and seas, or even ditches, canals, puddles, etc., it is their home.
As a result, tilapia is widely distributed in the continent's major waters, but is most commonly found in southern waters.
It is characterized by many reproductions, strong vitality, large appetite, and high adaptability.
There is such a fish, which is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In fact, its vitality is more obvious in the environment of the water.
This can be seen in tilapia in both freshwater and saltwater.
I've also fished for freshwater tilapia, and saltwater is only saltwater where there is freshwater, and saltwater tilapia has better meat quality than freshwater.
But there is also a situation that you should know, and that is that freshwater tilapia will become saltwater as it grows, and the meat will become more delicious.
Because freshwater has less salt than saltwater, tilapia will be more flavorful in freshwater, but if you put too much salt, it will die.
Although tilapia in saltwater is also very vigorous, it cannot withstand such exercise.
So, if you don't want them to die in fresh water and be fished away, you should put a little salt in it or keep the water in a salty state so that it can live well.
Tilapia fishing skills.
In the south, freshwater tilapia is flooded, and many anglers go to experience tilapia fishing in their leisure time.
When fishing tilapia, it is necessary to grasp the fishing time, fishing position, bait, fishing method, teasing and other aspects.
First of all, let's talk about the fishing time.
Tilapia are greedy and like to forage during the day, and their appetite is at their highest in the evening and morning, and it is best to eat the fish in the morning and evening.
It is generally recommended to go out fishing around 5 o'clock, when the fish rise from the bottom to the surface of the water layer to feed.
In the evening, they will go underwater again to rest after eating, so the morning is the peak time for them to feed.
It is best to choose the upwind outlet and the upwind fishing position, which has a higher fish aggregation rate and can be easier to hook.
Because the water flow at the upwind outlet will be faster and keep the oxygen in the water moving in the water longer, the oxygen content is higher.
It is because of the abundance of oxygen in the water that there will be more fish at the upwind port.
Try to choose an area with lush vegetation, where tilapia will generally hide in aquatic plants and wait for bait instead of swimming in the water.
They get nutrients from microorganisms in plants, so anglers can put bait next to aquatic plants.
In terms of bait, tilapia does not eat fishy, so it is impossible to catch fishy bait.
Tilapia prefers liver flavor, so you can use some bait made of pork liver, beef liver, etc.
The tease belongs to a titanium method, which can deal with slow mouth and grabbing, and anglers can put the hook bait into the water and recycle it at a slow speed when fishing.
When the hook bait is eaten by tilapia in the water, it feels that the bait is quickly sucked away, and the rod is quickly retracted, and it is easy to take the bait.
If you don't think there are any fish on the bait, release the line slowly while reeling in the line, and the bait may be taken away by the fish.
After catching the fish, reel the line slowly, and do not reel in too quickly, so as not to break the line and run the fish.
Freshwater and saltwater tilapia fishing.
Freshwater tilapia and saltwater fish look similar, but they are different.
Because freshwater tilapia is vegetarian, it means that we can fish it with vegetarian bait like rice, corn kernels, buns, etc.
But saltwater tilapia eats seafood, so we catch it with live bait such as small live shrimp.
Tilapia in freshwater is generally fine with a medium rod of 240-460CM, while if you fish in saltwater, you should choose a long rod that can control the water, otherwise it is not easy to catch.
Saltwater tilapia is generally found in places where the tide is high and the current is fast, especially in places where the entry and exit are faster.
So in these places, anglers choose a 30-50 size rod to control the fish.
If the current is small, then choose a regular pole to fish on the shore.
If the current is strong, the fish will hide in the deep water, so fish at the right depth.
If the current is small, the fish will feed in shallow water, and it is easier for predators to spot in shallow water.
When fishing in places where the current is large and the tide is rapid, the fishing position should be selected in a location where the current is slower against the current, and the current on the bottom will be slow, which is the best place for fishing.
If the tide is high, it is better to fish on the edge of the reef, and at low tide, it is better to fish in deep water.
Especially at low tide, the flow of water from the outer sea into the inland sea is faster than the flow of water out of the inland sea.
Therefore, anglers should grasp the direction of the current and choose the place where the tide flows in quickly, where there are many fish and it is easy to catch.
When the current is fast, the speed of the fish in the water slows down, and it is easy to be knocked into objects such as stones when teasing.
So try to reel the line as slowly as possible and don't shake the rod too often, otherwise you will not only let the fish run away, but also catch other objects easily.
The ebb and flow of tides also affects the foraging and behaviour of saltwater tilapia.
epilogue
For freshwater and saltwater tilapia fishing skills, anglers can get a good harvest as long as they grasp the fishing time, fishing position, bait, fishing method, teasing, etc.
The difference between saltwater and freshwater fishing is mainly due to the difference in bait and position, so it is necessary to be flexible when fishing to harvest full protection.
