i dip net all the time, and have caught about 23 gar

when they are about 1-2in where there is one, there are more

but the latest one i caught is 3 1/2in, was probably alone, and the
water was much deeper, (about 4ft)

shallow water is best for catching babies, (1-2in) around plants, (dipnet under and in water plants) thats where i catch everything

just use a fine mesh dipnet, that is very strong
