Hello DNA, Can you share any specifics? I went out this weekend, hooked 4 big fish, but broke line each time, was great still,.not been out for 5 yrs, fished bottom in middle lake, no GPS, drifted. Went out to wall, did not know about, never owned a boat, finally have small 14 ft john with 40hp. I put new line on today, went up to 20 and 30 lb test. Do you only fish from top? Use leaders, length for float to hook, 5/0 hook? Best float, balloons? Could you email me @ shrekkun@yahoo.com?

@shrekkun new line for sure. I use 12-20# with 40# leaders. Egg sinker for bottom above a swivel, 18" to hook. I use smaller strong #3s and #4s. Find structure, middle of lake not too good. Rocks on shore, cheap foam float, 12-18" above hook. Freeline live bait at the wall or anywhere. Shrimp on bottom, cats in 4'-12" of water, Rocks best. Balloons about 4-12' above bait. I use 2oz egg sinker for balloons, Make balloon tear off when fish hits. Good Luck!

why dont you hook the tilapia through the nose like a live mullet?

[dnahoghunter]

@jared3925611 this is fresh water, I dont hook mullet thru th enose either, only at the coast. I hook them thru the tail cause the currant is going away from us, Im freelineing. I want that fish faceing away from me so it will keep the line tight. If I hooked the nose, he would swim right at me and under the wall.
