Next time I'm out fishing for Tilapia, I give it a try. Thank you for watching my video

Lake Avenue south i think, Largo/Clearwater . Thank you for watching

Sounds like you had a great time! I agree, they don't want you to throw them back. There is way too many. I don't eat them, I just enjoy catching them. They are a lot of fun. Good luck out there and be safe! Thank you for watching my videos!

February, but I can't predict an exact day or week. It all depends on the cold fronts that we get here, the rain and most importantly, the water temperature.

@@jimmybrownfishing thanks i was just wanting a idea. I heard around January or February. I grew up in port richey. I never tried for crappie when i was younger just went for bass down there. Im in Pennsylvania now. All i do is crappie and walleye fish now. Ill be planning a trip to head down there this February. Lol.

Sometimes late January, but the best time is February, for sure. Hope to see you out there this spring. Thank you for watching my videos! Have a good night!

Is this my cousin or uncle?

@georgeb6507 good hearing from you

Anderson ramp off of 19, open 24/7

The first thing I do is use my fish finder and figure out how deep the fish are. And I try to troll a foot or 2 above them. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't.

I never tried for them there. Ponds work better for me. Good luck!!

@@jimmybrownfishing there's whole schools of em more than you can count and they are HUGE at least twice the size of the ones you caught they just don't bite

Are you trying the same technique that I used?And are you throwing some bread in the water and see if they'll eat it before you start fishing

@@jimmybrownfishing I chum the water in the mid day when they seem to come out then I toss my hook out there and they literally look at me and almost mock me lololololol

The only other advice I can give you is to try to stay close to the bank within 10 to 12 feet of shore. Don't give up! Are they eating the chum?

They are an off brand called HISEA. bought them on Amazon. They are insulated. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!

Make sure the bread is fresh, not dried out. Pull off a section the size of a quarter and lay your small hook on it and fold the bread over and flatten it. If you keep practicing, you'll get it. Just make sure the bread is fresh, and not dried out. Good luck. Let me know how you do. I have several Tilapia videos, check them all out. Thank you for watching

That's awesome. Great idea!! Thanks for sharing

Walsingham park and Lake Tarpon have bass. Lake Seminole also has bass. Thank you for watching my videos

You got that right!! Thanks for watching my video

I get the jig bodies from Cast Cray Outdoors, Netcraft Fishing Tackle and Academy Sports. I get the Road Runner jig heads from Netcraft and Bass Pro Shops. I do 90% of my shopping online. These are all great places to buy from. Thank you for watching my videos. Good luck!!

@julian23421 lake Avenue south

Clearwater florida

Let me know how you do, good luck!

I always take 2 trolling motors and 3 batteries on each and every trip whether I'm out for 2 hours or 10 hours. I good battery will last all day trolling. As of 2 months ago, I sold all my Jon boats and purchased a new bass tracker 17 foot aluminum. Thank you for watching and hope you subscribed. Good luck out there

Thanks for the reply and yes I’m a subscriber and enjoy trolling much like you do.

If you check out my channel, find the most recent Tilapia video. I give step by step instructions. Thank you for watching

Bread is the best

@@jimmybrownfishing geez ok some say corn or worms . But ok thanks I see so many here in Miami . One was albino real huge , so close you can touch :)

They are vegetarian and corn should work. Send me a picture of that albino if you see it again. Look me up on Facebook at jimmybrownfishing. Thank you for watching

@@jimmybrownfishing you give me your email. I don’t have Facebook and then you could delete the email. Sorry.

That's awesome, I live about 15 minutes from there in Largo. I caught a bullhead catfish and lost a huge bass last year. Good luck and thanks for watching my video

You catching Tilapia? Good luck and thanks for watching my video

I'll see what I can do but I'm in the process of moving. I'll message you back if I can get it done and posted. Thank you

Sorry I haven't called you back. Thank you! JC

I hope you start catching! Good luck with the bread and appreciate you watching my video!

Hi Piper Claus! Appreciate the feedback. Comments are always welcome. Have a great day!

Absolutely crazy high! Beach is nice and quiet

Henry County resident only reservoir! Good luck

Thank you! Hope to be out a lot over the next 3 months. Crappie should be spawning here in Florida in about 2 weeks then it's off to Georgia the 1st week in March. Hope to have a few videos coming as well. Thank you for watching!!! Have a great week!

Sorry to hear about your boat. Hopefully insurance will pay 100%. Caught 22 crappie out there about 4 weeks ago using roadrunner jigs. Had my girlfriend with me and she caught half of them. Did not shoot a video that day but wish I had. The bite should get real good in a couple weeks. I just hope the weather cooperates. Sure we'll see you out there. Good luck, take care.

I use a size 4 short shank plain hook. You could also try a #6 short shank. Good luck

White Bread is the bait of choice for me. I heard corn kernels is good

I love to use a float when I tilapia fish. But I prefer to use a hook only. Also, i've never used a circle hook for tilapia, but i'm sure it would work. Thanks for watching and have a great day

Use small pieces of white bread on a small hook. Don't use and weight. I usually take small pieces of bread to chum up the water and get them active. Good luck out there and thanks for watching. Please subscribe and check out my other videos. Thank you

That is a shame. However, controlling the bass population can help produce larger fish in the near future. Thank you for watching this video. Have a great holiday week! Jimmy Brown

@@jimmybrownfishing likewise 👌

What part of the Midwest are you from? I'm originally from Indiana.

I do not eat any bass in Florida. I have eaten Smallmouth Bass when I lived up north, very tasty. Glad you're enjoying my videos. Fall crappie fishing is coming up in a few weeks. Going to try some in Georgia and Florida. Enjoy your weekend! Thanks, Jimmy

Yes, a small split shot works good to keep my bait down in the water column where the fish or suspended. Thank you

Trolling with 1/8 ounce underpin jig heads with 2" grub twister tails or Bobby Garland Split tails are my 2 go to set-ups when trolling for crappie. I also tip the underpin jig heads with a live minnow. All of these work well in Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Indiana. Especially during the spawn season. Thank you for the question Good luck and be safe!

I thought about it but the wind maybe too strong for my small boat. Good luck and let me know how you do! Have a good weekend Sir!

@@jimmybrownfishing I am bringing over kill 24 foot key west CC 250 Yamaha. I park it in the pads. 👍😂 going to try to get a few panfish and maybe pick up a couple crappie. Have a good one Jimmy. 🇺🇸🙏👍

There are huge bluegill in there, go catch them! Have fun and be safe!

A.L. Anderson Park boat ramp. Open 24 hours on Lake Tarpon.

Ok, thanks gonna go out there this weekend. Just looked it up, seems like a nice park there as well.

It is a nice park. Have fun and good luck out there! Be safe!

Let me know how you did. I'm trying to get out there in a week or two. Thanks

@@jimmybrownfishing just got back Jimmy…no crappie but we caught some 1 lb 12 inch blue gill and shell crackers. 38 👍

Great job!

I'm in Largo and I'm sure I'll see you out there this fall. Thanks for sharing your story.

You too! Appreciate the shout out on the road. Hopefully back on the water in September. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

@@jimmybrownfishing of course! 🫶
