Microfishing Attempt #3
This morning I went to Caddo Lake State Park to practice microfishing. I used bacon as bait and the fish loved it. I caught a lot of sunfish, mostly Bluegill. The sunfish were the only fish I saw until a grass carp swam along the shore. I had hoped to catch some minnows that only live in the Caddo Lake area of Texas, but no such luck.
After lunch, it was getting really hot so I tried catching just one more before I left. I watched another sunfish cautiously approach my bait. Now the whole time I was on the dock, there was a little baby snapping turtle swimming around. It suddenly decided to snatch my hook before the sunfish. I reeled the little turtle in and grabbed my camera, and just as I turned it on, the turtle freed himself and went back into the water. I shrugged my shoulders and packed up my stuff.
Tomorrow: Martin Creek Lake State Park

Thanks so much for posting! I had no idea that micro-fishing existed until I saw your journal posts. Very interested in your current and future results!
This is so cool.. I have never heard of this, but have seen people post pictures of little fish.... I may have to try this after I finish mothing lol. I went back and read all your older blogs and links on it so thanks for sharing. Maybe on our next bioblitz you can demonstrate for all. It reminds me of when I use to crawdad fish with the bacon.
Thanks for sharing this information. It's inspiring to learn new ways to search for new species.
