Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies on Tilapia as Skipjack Bait
The first sea tests to evaluate tilapia as skipjack bait were conducted by the Territorial Division of Fish and Game in the summer of 1954. On 2 of 5 trials no skipjack schools were encountered; on the remaining 3 trials fish were taken by using nehu to attract the skipjack school to the stern of the boat and then switching to tilapia during the fishing. The conclusions were that although some of the tilapia tended to sound - which is an undesirable trait in a bait fish they were adequate in most respects.
