catching/traping fish sunfish.?
OK i have a lake house in fact 2 on diffrent lakes in new york, there is always tons of sunfish and bluegill and what not on our house but on the other side the game fish live monster size bass and trout and what not, but i was wondering, since i have always 100s of little sun fish i want to catch them and keep them as pets is there any way to do it, i bought a metal cage to trap fish i put bread but they didn't eat it and they never came in. If thise metal cages work, then what should i put in them. If they don't what should i use to catch them. I check the rules and regulations and all that, it is a private late with only 2 house on it. I bought really small fly fishing hooks but only the big ones bight and the little ones stay away.
any thing would help..
thx
Is this metal cage a trap with funnel shaped opening, If so it should work. Are you placing it too deep in the water? It should be in shallow water not over 2 or 3 feet down next to bank or suspended under dock. Bread should work wonders. Canned dog food with dozens of large holes chopped in it is another possiblity but the bread is good.
You could try an umbrella net. Known here as a dip net. For very small sunfish it should work and work fast. Use bread wetted and weighted with a small flat rock.
Try casting net. Difficult to master. Get the smallest diameter you can find like 5 foot.
