Anthem, I know that catching with nets is not a good thing, but I have NEVER been able to catch a thing with any container, EVER and trust me I have tried a million times and with a million different things.
Any tips? or am I just an idiot?
(ok don't reply to that last part)

Kris,
I bought a fish trap. Has caught any fish I wanted to in there. I put the food that the fish likes in the back of it. When he goes in i release the string.
Have never had any problems catching fish in it. Once in the tank for a while they like to investigate it. Fish are like cats, very curious.
Just an Idea for you...

Thank you both for your replies on fishing without nets--
My question for wamp is--in a fish trap, how do you get only the fish you WANT in there and not all the rest????
I think that would be my best bet if I can figure that one out.
I worry a lot about netting my angel, as she will get stuck in the net. Lots of stress for both of us.
