Snrub have you tried throwing out a cast net a few hours after dark. We sometimes do this when it's hard netting fish in the day and it seems to work well in the 3-5ft shallows. Throw them in a holding tank till the morning when I can sort without a flashlight.
Had not even thought of that possibility. Might try it.
I do go out at night with a flashlight just to see what is going on around the pond sometimes. See lots of small BG sleeping in the shallows, so I can see where the cast net could work.
Thanks!
