My favorite net next to the Ultimate Dip Net is the $5 bait nets with the wooden handle you get at Walmart. Eventually the net will rip because it's wrapped around the metal bar. When you smack it on the gravel enough times, it rips. I just use small zipties to hold it on. I have never had any problem after that. I just have tons of luck with most small fish that hug the bottom in shallow water with a gravel bottom.
@The Secret History Living in Your Aquarium That is the one. And also try going out at night. Many fish are so much easier to catch at night. But some are much harder because they hide in places you can't go, like deep water or in root balls.
Good job! Blackstripe topminnows have proven to be really difficult to catch for me. One of my favorite techniques is kick netting. You are basically scaring fish into your net. All you need to do is time picking up the net quickly. It's much easier on your back.
Be sure to contact the net company to make sure they have them in stock before ordering them if you are needing them in a timely manor. I had to wait many, many months for the ones I ordered, luckily I wasn't in a rush to get them. ⏳
Thanks for the video 😊 I have not been out with a dip net or a seine in around 20 years. My this will be the summer I can get out to search for some killifish 😁
I'll have to try this out on the Gallatin this summer! There are prize-winning trout, which are amazing and so fun to catch on a line, but I would love to learn about the smaller residents of the river too!
Lowe's has a good dip net that is listed as a pond net. I've been dip netting since a kid with a butterfly net, so don't let the net price deter y'all.
Great video about an excellent past time. Would love a video about differences and similarities in fishkeeping around the world. I accidentally joined a Filipino fish community online without realizing it recently (as an American) and have learned so much new information. It has made me curious about all the different sets of knowledge we have as groups around the world related to the hobby.
Fish are curious creatures and will come out to look at the net if you are still and quiet. Because I only have a aquarium net I have to be smarter than the fish. Thanks Alexander
Very much so. Sticklebacks, long nose daces, pumpkin seeds, blue gills, dojo loaches and african clawed frogs around seattle. Bass and rock bass, crappie sculpin, red sided shiners all can live in tanks
@@AaronW315 yeah I use a cast net too , but it's better in deeper water so it fall down through a school of fish . but when the rivers flood me and a buddy go seine the ditches , mostly we do it to catch bait , but sometimes we catch baby alligator gars , tiny little flathead catfish , generally we get at least 1 snake and a few turtles...we just let that stuff go but it is a blast !
9 months later me and the daughter getting into this. Shrimp and jungle Val we’ve kept so far
Yay! Field Trip! ❤ Thanks Alexander
That was a fun super cool 😎 video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Need one of these, i usually go to a river with family for vacation and see a lot of fish.
Very nice! What river?
@@Fishtory kern river here in cali
Good information for probably a lot of people trying this out for the first time 💗✌️💯👍 thanks for sharing
Glad you found it useful
Great stream Watching from Seville Spain
Thank you kindly! From Seattle USA hehe.

Nice life hack! Thanks. ( is that the white netting with pine looking blonde wood as a handle?

Yes agreed haha. 10 out of 10 on technique

Yep! I had to wait 4 months at Christmas time, and he had them in stock.
Very cool, thank you!

Yes! That's freaking amazing. Youll have a blast, im sure. Let me know where you end up trying to go looking pretty please 🙏
If I ever go dip netting, I’m going to rewatch this first. 😊
Hehe glad to hear it

Right on! Sounds fun

Good to know, I've never checked it out. How fine is the mesh?

I'm a expert 😎 😉. Use to go smelt fishing in Duluth, Minnesota
Nooiice
@@sghettinona I miss it also always was there from last week in April to last week in May, when the smelt ran.
I'm around the corner from there right now!

100% good advice
Looks like you are going to be getting a one arm workout lol❤ the videos
Bahahahahaa
Alexander is there anything worth collecting here in the Pacific North West?
Very much so. Sticklebacks, long nose daces, pumpkin seeds, blue gills, dojo loaches and african clawed frogs around seattle. Bass and rock bass, crappie sculpin, red sided shiners all can live in tanks
you could probably catch daphnia there.
Yes! Daphnia, scuds, blood worms and seed shrimp all live here and i go collecting for the tanks
@@Fishtory question, would you find these in artificial ponds as well?
invest in a 10 foot minnow seine .get a helper and you will be amazed what you catch !
Love that!! Love to cast net, too!

Yes... i mean here in Washington its not so helpful with only 54 species... but most any other state...yes
