catching tomans

Post by patrick2405 »

saw a group of juvenile tomans the other day at a canal (the kind that still stay together in groups but have colourings and stripes already) should i try to do luring, baiting or wait till they get bigger? but problem is i don even know where the mamas all hide at so if they get big maybe cant even catch them :(

Many of those you see at canals and hanging around on the same spots are usually orphans or have parted from their siblings. Young tomans are especially aggressive in a group compared to scattered ones due to competition. If you don't have a better spot, I guess you can try luring these small ones.

You just drag them across the water surface with a twitching action. It'll create a popping sound as well as water splashes to attract the attention of the fish. Give it a few twitches/pops followed by a pause.
