I'll look into a cast net as well. How well do they do in the wind? It's almost always windy here. I've walked around the pond a couple times each of the past few days and the shore seems to be loaded with 1/2-1 1/2" sunfish. I put out the minnow trap today and caught a dozen in it after it sitting about 6 hours. All were BG except this one, can anyone ID it?
Also found 3 BG floating around the edges of the pond that were around 4" and one around 1". It was in the mid 80s and they were all in the shallows Monday then it got down into the 30s the last two nights which I'm guessing wasn't easy on them. I don't think it's a water quality issue as the trout seem to be fine.
