How do you do it?

Arizona is great for catching your own fish food. Most bodies of water out here have accidental tilapia infestations, and during the summer the reproduce en masse. G&F encourages you to keep all you catch and there's no limit.

Tilipia here are so plentiful and aggressive you could probably catch like 500 with a full day of fishing during the summer! Cut 'em up and you got fish food for months!

P.S. my wife caught one that was a little over 22" last year, my largest was around 18"

Look for bargains, trade up, catch your own feeders and if you live near a hatchery talk to them about letting you add your order to thiers so you can get the bulk rate, trout pellets are very high protien. A major way to keep expenses down is to keep natives, even if you don't catch them yourself they tend to be a lot cheaper than tropicals, and you don't need heaters.
