Redfin Pickerel

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Brine shrimp and blackworms/other small worms come to mind. Live, so as to stimulate feeding. Might be able to get them feeding on flake or something, but I wouldn't count on it.

Wow where did you get one only an inch?! anything live and wiggling can get him to feed. Mosquito larvae, black/blood worms, young feeders etc. The benefit of larvae or worms, if you can get him feeding at the surface, pellet training will be easier. If you want to use feeders, any live bearer will have small enough young and it would be easier to breed them yourself to avoid disease and give you more options for size. I would use worms or larvae personally
 
Mosquito larva,daphnia,live bloodworms
 
nice snag, I would love to own one this small. Ive kept pickerel under 3" before, but not much smaller
 
For all those looking for small pickeral i used to keep them when i was little by walking along weeded banks at night with a flashlight and a butterfly net.....be warned fast lil buggers.....and they look like a stick easy to miss....i always kept mine in tubs outside and they got plenty of misquito larvae then we started em on guppy babies and any other small minnow we could catch
