The float will not show any movement if the TM is right on bottom since the tilapia won't move, it will just sit there while you keep waiting for a hit. They pull the float down slowly and deliberately, similar to a crappie.

Great stuff Chris...I need to fish with you to get some TM tips...LOL. I would like to run into some of those but in the lakes I fish I don't think that will happen. It blows my mind though that they are getting that big in there. How long have folks been catching them at GSP and have any been caught anywhere else on the lake?


Regards
