The part in yellow describes me to a T

I have one alpha female and one submissive female dog, both fixed. If not for mango’s submissiveness, we would just have one female dog. Also the alpha female (cori) is not allowed at the dog park or on the trails behind my house. I tried once and had to tackle her when she saw a schnauzer haha

I guess it depends on what kind of substrate you are screwing it into. I definitely can’t imagine how a tent stake would help

I can’t think of any practical way to anchor them, I would recruit a buddy

I would think even if you anchored it the current might knock it over. Maybe put river rocks around the base of the poles? The seine comes with strings that you tie to the poles. As far as the anchor, I just don’t see myself being able to screw that thing into a rocky river bottom but then again I’ve never tried. They are somewhat difficult to screw into the sandy beach along the ocean haha

Well most of them are 4 by something so I would get poles slightly over 4.5 feet to have a little wiggle room. I can’t imagine how that anchor would work but you never know. Those are for beach umbrellas. You have to put the poles in the river bed, I also wouldn’t spend money on poles but I’m cheap. Tree branches work fine

Smaller the better if you are solo. It will be tricky for sure, , I know of no way to anchor them. You have to Jam the poles into the rocks in fast water and kick/flip rocks upstream of the net. Best way is one man holding the poles and the other man kicking rocks

I just use sticks from the woods or golf clubs with no heads haha

We also have a female dog that doesn’t tolerate other female dogs. She’s the home security system haha

Unfortunately I think the answer to your pondering is “youll never know until you try it” so I would just drop shot with an ice rod and see how it goes. If it doesn’t work, maybe you can sell the ice rod back to the north country

Just get ya a hole saw and go to work!

Drop down through the scupper hole???

Yeah, I get that. But they are all fishing in a TV tournament so how would they think that wouldn’t happen? Lame excuse if you ask me

Golden shiner would be my guess . They get big

You just want to eat all the bacon

So, Kreit and mcclelland thought they could drive a bass boat into the ocean in a televised tournament and they wouldn’t show it on TV? this entire thread makes zero sense

Disclaimer: I haven’t read he book and I never will. The only books about fishing I have any interest in reading are ones where people just tell fish stories. Books about fish behavior or instructional books about catching fish are beyond useless (for me).

I always use one guy to hold the net and the other guy to kick. And the more aggressive the kicking, the more bait you catch.

Well yeah but it works better elsewhere

Like I said, simpler in a marsh down south

Minnow trap, available at wal mart

Some success but not nearly enough. Easier to grab or net. The most I ever saw at once was washing dishes in a creek after dark. I had plenty of craws this weekend and the fish didn’t much care for them. soft plastic grubs , live shad, and live or dead helgrammites worked way better. More juicy meat, less exoskeleton . I would try trapping minnows, better bait and easier to catch. And there’s always a crawdad or two in a minnow trap

No clue man, sorry. I had a buddy take a deep dive into crawfish trapping and he got next to nothing. You need a marsh in Louisiana or Mississippi to have great results . If you leave bacon in the river, something will surely steal it! Crawfish are scavengers and aren’t picky about what they eat

Ouch. A seine also works well but you might need to be healthy first
