Microfishing Attempt #2
This afternoon I went to one of my city's public fishing ponds in Lear Park. This one is fished a lot less than the one in Teague Park, so it would have more fish. This time I tried the Frog Hair tippet recommended by microfishing.com. Personally, I didn't like the tippet because it was too light and broke easily. I used corn as bait and caught three Bluegill at the fishing pier. I think I caught one of them twice. I could see a lot of fish in the pond, but they weren't interested in biting that day.
When I got home, I removed the tippet and put the fishing line that came with my reel back on.
Later in the year, when it cools down, I want to microfish the Louisiana and Arkansas part of the ArkLaTex. I checked online and non-residents can buy a $5 day pass in Louisiana. In Arkansas they don't have a day pass, but three-day one for $16.

Caught at the Lear Park fishing pond. Size 20 hook, corn as bait.
The fish weren't biting much today. All I got was this guy...twice. ;p

Try using a little raw bacon for bait. With the small hooks you will only need a very small piece of bacon. Start out with maybe a 3-5mm square of bacon and adjust up or down from there. I use either some suture scissors or an old pair of my wife's cuticle scissors to cut the bacon. The tougher fat works as good or better than the meat. Just be sure to pass your hook thru the bait at least twice. You should be able to catch multiple fish w/o having to rebait this way. Try it, I'm sure you will like it! The fish do.

Thanks for the tip!
