If you are wanting to fill a ice chest full of Talilpas then it's amazing
What are you catching tilapia on?
Night crawlers under a cork, when a school swims buy throw a cast net over them, it don't take long to load the boat. Great for kids!!! The bass were eating pretty good that day too!

When I was out there a few weeks ago you could almost walk across the backs of the tilapia in the north creek. If it's legal I think you could load your boat to the gunwales with a cast net.
They aren't a game fish, so cast netting would be legal. Must throw back any game fish that is caught though. We threw a cast net about a month ago and had more than we could handle in 30 minutes. Did that first and then went bass fishing.
If I am wrong about cast netting tilapia let me know.

Cast net all you want. ALL you want. No limit. Actually "illegal" to release tilapia back into the lake alive. All gamefish caught in a cast net must be released.
