I dip net for 'em and definitely on the way down AFTER spawning. I wait for a long time before I go dip net for a couple. I put them in a bucket with an aerator and pen'n up at dads slip
They die in the pen the get cut into chunks.
Fish dont like bass candy anyhow leave 'em alone, think they'll let us in there in waders and with our dip nets? And dont throw swimmers in your chum slick, you arms tend to get sore.
