Minimalistic Microfishing in Dallas Texas
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- I managed to sneak away to a creek in Dallas Texas to do some microfishing one morning. I selected this spot because I knew that red shiners (Cyprinella lutrensis) had been caught here before. What I didn't realize though, was just how plentiful they were. I quickly caught my first red shiner and then picked away at several more over the next 45 minutes. Not a bad way to spend a morning and I added one new species to the lifelist.

Happy new year
I also catch small fish in Japan, but it seems to be a different type of fish than you catch, which is interesting.
あけましておめでとうございます。
私も日本で小さな魚を釣っていますが、貴方の釣る魚とは種類が違うようで、興味深いです。
Happy new year! Thank you for the comment. I was in Japan last year and did some microfishing (tanago). I have some videos on my channel coming out from Japan right now.
Fun times. The southern red bellied dace is what got me interested in micros. Always fun thinking about those urban areas that no one else, or hardly anyone else has ever considered fishing.
Yup. There are some beautiful fishes in some not so beautiful areas sometimes.
Enjoyable video... never heard of a Gulp Maggot, but now I need to get a bag. It sounds like it will solve my problem of the bait coming off the hook when micro fishing.
Go for it. I like to keep some artificial baits in my bag just in case I can't get anything live.
Awesome vid. We have red fin minnows here in Cape Town area and I have caught 2 species so far. Unfortunately they are both on the endangered list..
Thank you. That's too bad about those species.
Great video! Such awesome red shiners! I've caught males in MO and KS but none as vibrant as those fish. All the American minnows that get so colorful like those red shiners I would think are likely difficult to keep in the prime breeding condition in an aquarium. Water temps are probably easy to maintain ,but do they need seasonal temp changes or photoperiod light changes. Also how much does their natural diet dictate their coloration? I do enjoy finding those colorful native species and sharing with others that may not expect such diversity in our local waters.
Unfortunately I don't know much about keeping them in aquariums. I think you're right though, they probably only have colors like these several weeks out of the year.
#jelly That super cooored up male was Dope.
Yeah they were beautiful.
Those are def aquarium eligible with those colors!
Yup. They're gorgeous.
im surprised i have not seen red shiners in the aquarium hobby
Same. I'm surprised so many North American natives aren't in the aquarium hobby.
maybe with owner floater you will have easier fishing experience and can use as a indicator
Perhaps. I have some, but the few times I've used them I wasn't a big fan. I'm sure they might work a lot better in murkier water.
you need a viewing container, so you stop dropping everything .
I'll pick one up next time I hit the lottery.
