    Do Tilapia Take Surface Poppers

    Just wondering if anyone knows if you can fish surface for them ? Got some nearby that I would like to chase if they do.

    They take SP's so it is possible they'll take a popper, give it a go and be surprised.

    For something different try chasing flathead with poppers, ice had limited success but it's fun to watch them hit.
