Fishing Techniques

• For Nile tilapia

  Tilapia often feed near the surface, so try presenting your bait or lure in the upper water column and use light tackle.

• For Arapaima

  Use heavy tackle (80-100lb test) and strong hooks because Arapaima are incredibly powerful fish; target areas near submerged logs and vegetation.

• For Yellowtail scad

  Use a light spinning rod and reel for increased sensitivity and to better detect the subtle bites of yellowtail scad, especially when using smaller lures or baits. Target areas near piers, jetties, and rocky shorelines where they often congregate.
