Title: NPD tilapia cull day.
Post by: rayke1938 on January 06, 2012, 03:40:18 PM

Took a couple o friends up to NPD this morning and got stuck into the local tilapia population.
 Took Jon and Rachael a little white to cotton onto their timid bites.

The bite slowed down by 7.30 with gar becoming a pest and we were nearly out of bait by then anyhow so we went and had a look at the redclaw pots for a feed of claw.

 Final score was around 36 tilapia
 15 tandans
 4 gar and some spangleds.
 Must admit I am becoming addicted to these tilapia they are a bit like the forkies at wivenhoe as they go like the clappers especially when you are catching them in 8 feet of water right under the boat.
Cheers
Ray

Boat looks suspiciously clean!
Did you have to tidy her up to fit in all those Tillies?  ;D
