Randy, soon I'm planning on bypassing the collection bucket and directing the larvae into a pipe that extends over the pond so they will automatically drop right in.
I would like to test it with 200 - 300 feet of pipe to see if a BSF unit could be set up that far from a pond and still work automatically. With a set up like that the only time you would have to collect larvae is when you want a few for bait or to get some immature larvae.
I'll bet you could have caught a few of those fish if the larvae had hooks in them. (tied to line of course)
