No bait is needed. The fish swim parallel to the shore and run it a lead net. They then follow the net away from the bank and get caught in net.

I will take some pictures of how they are setup.

I am borrowing them from my school so I don't know how much they cost. They are 2 ft. tall and 4 ft. wide.

Chris, may your tighty whities ride up on you at the worst possible moment.



Can I get moderated for threatening a moderator?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Day 2 catch



Day 3 and 4 catch



Biggest fish caught in the fyke nets this week. To get in the good graces of the GSFA this fish is going to be on display in an aquarium here at Arkansas Tech.



How the net is setup in the water.

Outstanding Young Blood!


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

I forgot to say that GSF are a really tough fish. The big one was in that metal tub for 10-15 minutes before I put him in a bucket with some water.

That's a plus as far as the GSFA is concerned.

In the minus column is the plaque reading "Don't let this happen to your pond."

That big boy was probably one of the first to find their way into that pond. That is a pile of sunnies!

So how many LMB would have had to be stocked to think them out?

How long do you think they had been in there?

After seeing that I wonder if my pond is not infested just like that one.

Thanks for the post.
