Springtime means the tilapia are protecting their nests. This can make for some exciting bowfishing action. Tilapia can be found along the shorelines of just about every freshwater source in Brevard County. As a non-native species, it is good to “cull the herd” as they occupy important habitat of our native Bass, Crappie, and Bluegill.

If you have never tried bowfishing, it is a lot of fun and very challenging. When conditions are right there is no shortage of nonstop action!
