Members - I'm looking to source some smallmouth bass, fingerlings or young adults. Any members in SE USA have smallies they're rearing and sellings? In Georgia here. Not afraid to travel to states within 6-8 hours drive if need be. Please PM if you have smallmouth bass available. In return I can bring you beautiful Georgia red clay by the buckets.

You are welcome to some Hudland bluegill assassins this fall, but it's a drive to Lincoln. Still I'd be honored to have you raise my babies.
If that's not an option, reach out to Rex he can probably help get you covered. Feel free to call me anytime for cool water fishery species guidance. I've made about every mistake possible and am happy to help you avoid them. I love new cool water fishery projects!

You know Basslover if you really had to, you can haul fingerlings quite a ways for many hours (even longer) quite easily if you have some rudimentary equipment. No hauling tank or aeration equipment needed. I've hauled smallies from New York to Indiana with no problem. (before the vhs hysteria)
5 gallon buckets, a regulator, hose and nozzle, plastic bags to line the buckets, an oxygen cylinder rented at a local welding supply, and some ammonia neutralzer is all you need.
Deflate the bags and reinject with fresh oxygen every few hours and they will make it to their destination just fine.
If you can stay away from a Great Lakes stste source as then you run into lots of red tape.

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

Drop a note to Rainman.
He can help.
Granted, seeing TJ's place is the bomb.

I'll be moving some large tilapia to a nearby high school on Tuesday. Will post step by step instructions on how to use the oxygen and bags to move fish.

If anyone can get you the fish it's Rainman.
Was set to document the shipping in bags process but was out of bags! Maybe next time.
