Greetings brothers and sisters! I hope I'm not boring you with all my posts, but here is how I like
to have some fun in small fish ponds. First, you have to have some fresh bread:

Next, roll a little ball of it to about BB size. Place on a tiny gold hook like so :

Next, throw this around grass or branches in the pond and you should catch these beautiful golden shiners:

Select bass pond and hook shiner with a large gamakatsu hook underneath dorsal fin like this. He will swim
close to the surface hooked here. If you want him to swim deeper, hook through the lips:

Throw the shiner out underneath a big bobber and let him swim around at will. Set hook when you see the
explosion. Success!

I missed the next two, so I didn't take pics, LOL
Looks great.
I've been eating a fair bit of fish recently, much healthier alternative to red meat. I haven't been fishing in years, I wouldn't mind going out for a few hours and try my luck.
Very impressive, a man that can fish cannot starve. I always swore in year 2000 that I was going to take up sea fishing as a hobby. I had just come down off Ben Nevis in Scotland and it had taken me 14 hours up and down and I was crippled( I had to go slow with wee bairns.)
(NB I'd done it in 4 hours when I was 19 and there are ladies that jog up it before breakfast- i've even seen old ladies up there walking the dog) My kids were laughing at me and throwing stones at "dad the weakling". I thought there has to be a better hobby.
I lost a load of weight though post 2003 and have been slim and salubrious since, in fact i'm probably as fit as when I was 22. So i never got to do fishing but I do admire it.
Scotland is great for wild living. There are stretches of beach 30 miles long where no one goes and the water is full of protein. I saw a documentary on one fella and he had a boat and lobster pot and he had crab, lobster, flounder, every day..only thing was he began cracking up for a "piece of cake" lol!
