Sfritr Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Anybody know a good fish tagging system that is relatively cheap to purchase? We have two small ponds at the front of our sub. They are LOADED with bass ranging from 12-19in. My son and I would like to buy a tagging system and begin tagging some of the fish and then keeping a fish log. We would log the date, time, conditions and lures when caught as well as length and weight. Throughout the years we could monitor these fish and track patterns etc. I just thoguth it would be a great profect for my son and I to take on together Quote

Sfritr Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 Excellent Glenn This is perfect information. This is something that I always wanted to try to get a better understanding of the lakes and ponds I fish as well as the ecosystem I am fishing. I will keep everyone posted Quote

BASS fisherman Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Make sure you contact DCNR to see if that is legal in your area. Where I live, it is not. http://www.fish.state.pa.us/images/pages/qa/fish/tagging.htm Quote
