Yay! The bass have finally let go of thier young at my local lake,
Baby bass EVERYWHERE! I just caught a 1 inch bass, but what do I feed it? It's so small. Another question is what's another way to catch them? It took me 3 HOURS just to catch this little guy with an aquarium net. Had nothing else to use.
 
I would feed it some feeders. I use to catch them with fishing pole with a really small hook with a worm or rosy red as bait
 
blood worms. get him eating and then run parasite meds before he goes with other fish
 
chopped shrimp and bloodworms
 
All I really have that I could feed him is omega one cichlid flakes and frozen brine. May take a week or two to get the blood worms. Well I do have krill....could he eat that? Will They eat anything that moves at this size?
 
The krill and brine shrimp should work, as far as pellets I suggest trying HBH SuperSoft krill formula, its worked for me in converting a lot of native over to prepared foods.
 
be prepared for a large tank, florida bass get big
