Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Building a dam Building new forage mini pond

Getting these HSB caught and transferred to another pond has proven to be tricky. Hook and line works but slow and some days they do not bite. Cast net they have learned to skidaddle before the net captures them.

Maybe when the water gets cold enough and they slow I can get a bunch with the cast net.

A big seine would be the answer but I do not have one. Would have to pump the pond down some too.

9" are the size they are now. If some locals want some if they can figure out how to get them come on. I would like to get them thinned out before the remaining ones over winter in this tiny pond.
