Quarter stick of dynamite and a long handled net. Worked for my grandfather. Just scoop em up.
Saw an episode of river monsters where they used spider webs to fish.
A bamboo stick with a string and a few feathers will keep them hopping.
It's a natural process, red algae bloom every year, but it has been boosteed by nutrient runoff from lawns, sugar, farming running into and then released from Lake Okeechobee. They are working on retainments in addition to LakeO, but its a work in progress.
Chartreuse in green water works on bass down here in SWFL Cape Coral.
The back of my own head. Strictly spinning gear ever since.
Stop at Walmart and buy your license when you are in that state.
You killed the fish. Turn yourself in to the nearest PETA office.
Cavitation? Try adjusting the angle of the motor. Could also be a water pump impeller. Pushing through heavy weeds can burn them out pretty quick.

Talk to your doctor about a beta blocker just to get over the hump. Used for stage fright. Propranolol.
SWFL. Cuban tree frogs are invasive, crowding out native species. Easy to catch, just drive a 3 foot long pice of 2 inch pvc pipe into a shady spot in the garden and they'll hide there in the daytime. Question is are they any good as bait? Fresh, salt or both? Kill 2 birds (or a frog and a fish) with one stone.
