Minnows

[Bamamonts]

Does anybody know where you can get some big minnows for bass or catfish
Looking for a place in west tn or around paris.
Thanks in advance

Consider investing in a cast net. Spent $35 at Wal-Mart on a cheap net, used it for the past 2 years and haven't bought catfish bait since. Practice in the yard first though, it takes practice.

I just caught a handful of shiners and stonerollers yesterday with the cast net. Very worthwhile investment. It does take practice to get good at throwing

Get a castnet, watch a couple YouTube videos, and target the shallows. Most TWRA lakes don't allow castnets though I believe

IMO stonerollers are the number one bait for pretty much anything. They're like crack to smallies and wallyes...........

Do us a favor and videotape yourself practicing, especially for the first few throws and then share here.

walleye weren't having it last night. It's easy to catch short ones on a jerkbait but when I shine my light in the shallow water and see big ones, I know they are there, but I haven't figured em out yet.

How you go about night time walleye? Don't want your honey holes or anything. I just wanna figure out how to do it

U see walleye in shallow water??

I'd think if you hooked a live stoneoller on a small hook, light line, weightless, it'd eat it. But then again, I've only caught a few walleye ever.

i would like to freeline them but the current will carry them a little. I had them with just a little weight to keep them in place, but next time I might freeline one line while the other sits on the bottom. These walleye were in barely over a foot of water.

This^^^ Also if you know anyone close by with a creek you could set a trap. I have several around here that trap in my creek.
Catman, you need to do a video cast net tutorial.

the video is real slow to load where I'm at, but I can already tell that I could not top that tutorial and don't think anyone could.

I throw a 4ft net. Tried a 6ft but considering that most of the time I'm throwing from either the boat ramp or just down the bank from my catfish spot, I don't want to go any bigger lol. I catch plenty of 5-7 inch gizzard shad on boat ramps I don't need anything bigger that I'll end up snagging rock with.

 

[fishboy1]

that is almost the only way to throw a 20' net. Totally sucks when your net is all gooped up from jelly fish though ! LOL

I watched the whole video and had trouble spotting any cast net.
