Who wants to trade natives?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ahhhh, another Missourian that can appreciate how many of these little bait stealers we have. They're known as Lepomis megalotis to the science types, but they'll always be bait stealers to me. I have 4-5 in the 1-2" range and a 4 incher that's starting to show some good color. I've been doing 20 percent water changes twice a week to see if I can trick any of these little guys into thinking it's Spring and breed. I notices a pair of stonerollers defending and cleaning and area today so maybe love is in the air (or water I guess) in my tank. I have netted ten longears at a time on some recent collecting trips.

I'd be willing to trade for some sculpins if anyone has any to spare. I have access to a nearly unlimited supply of Missouri longears, yellow bullheads, blackspotted and balckbanded killies, and mosquito fish.


While I am not in the position to trade fish being as I am the worst fisherman on record, I would be more than happy to provide other compensation for a pair of 3-4" Longears. PM me if interested.
 
I have the following fish available for the price of shipping:

2" redbreast sunfish, sex unknown
4.5" redbreast sunfish, sex unknown
4.5" yellow bullheads (2), sex unknown

All of these fish eat pellets.


I got a couple of bullheads from autumeffect a few weeks ago. All came in healthy and are doing great, if anyone is interested.

I'll PM you the next time I go fishing. What size would you like? I can get anything from .5" to 6" depending on if I use a net or my ultralight. I won't accept any compensation other than payment for shipping and packaging except the gratitude of my fellow fishkeepers.

3-4" would be perfect.
 
Someone said they wanted small tripletail. And i catch them from time to time here in soflo. actually regularly. Idk on the regulations to ship them though. Ive never shipped saltwater also.
