It is very buoyant so I drilled holes in it so it would sink. I have two sets of mounting brackets.....one set low and one set high when you want to net them out.
Interesting observation.
In the past I have noticed the crappie I put in this cage were fatter/larger after being in captivity for several weeks. I just thought it was my imagination.
Fast forward to yesterday........We caught a bunch over the weekend and when I went to net them out for cleaning dozens of 1-1/2" fingerlings showed up in the dip net.
It makes me wonder if the small fish are using the sides of the cage for cover not realizing there were predators on the other side.....???
Does this sound reasonable??? With 37 crappie in the basket I can't believe small fish would be anywhere near it.
