Yes, it's a blast. We got to Salt Springs for Tilapia a.k.a. Nile Perch.

same here nile perch are good eat'en ,I had a hard time at first ,but once I learned that water bends light and things are deeper than they appear I did pretty good,

P.S. Dont forget to push the reel release button before letting the arrow fly I lost more arrows and a couple reels that way than I care to mention. ;)

Huge mullet for "fun"? And, after you killed them, you used them for bait/chum of course, right?
