Sorry if this has been discussed - I did a quick search and didn't find anything.
I have 3 small ponds (~1/4ac) and a larger pond of about 10ac. I'm trying to drain and sein two of the smaller ponds and transfer bluegill and +14" bass to the big pond. Once I have them fairly cleaned out I intend to kill them off and restart these as breeder ponds for bluegill and bass to feed the larger pond.
My problem is that the bottom of the pond is very mucky and there are old logs etc in the bottom so my seining efforts resulted in some overtopped waders and a very cold swim to retrieve the sein net.
I was wondering if anyone had experience with any of the small electroshock units (backpack or boat mounted)?
Thanks for any help and please direct me to any old threads on this if it has been discussed previously.
