Went convict fishing today in a ditch area but only caught Jewels on hook .

Some have bright red fins and green bodies thus maybe red/green cichlid mix ?

Both cichlid types found in same area. I let them go after pics.

waht bait? did you keep any? :naughty:


No I didnt keep any. I would feel bad . I was trying to catch convict cichlids which are impossible . The Jewels grab the bait (earthworm pieces-wax worms-mosquito fish) and run with it so easy to hook.

I was there today and saw very pretty large ones but was looking for snakes so didnt fish. I almost keep a scarlet snake lol (not king) but let it go as they fair poorly in captivity and belongs wild.
