Netting at Longpoint Bay

[Wulfonce]

Just got back from a day trip at Longpoint bay, Lake Erie. Great day! 5 kph breeze, sunny but not to hot, and fish everywhere. I caught a mix of around 30 perch, sunfish, and (young) largemouth bass. But the real catch of the day were these little guys...

I dropped a 4ft square net into the water and played the waiting game. Sure enough a school of sunfish swam right over the net. The results...
2 little sunfish measuring around 3" long. They now have a new home in my 90g cold water tank.

We ended the day with a few beers and perch fillets over the BBQ.

Good work! Sounds like a great day...especially the beer part.

what kind of net were you using and where can I get one? I thought about DIY-ing a net like that since the fish are really smart in one of my most productive spots.
