Hello all,
I am interested in getting some Longear sunfish for a home aquarium. But I have two questions that I was hoping someone here could clear up. I live in the Minneapolis MN area and I am trying to figure out if I can bring home live fish for an aquarium. From reading the DNR’s fishing regulations, it seems to me that I can’t bring them home unless I am 16 or under, but it isn’t written extemely clearly. Does anyone understand what exactly the regulation is on taking home live fish?
Secondly, can anyone tell me a good spot to go looking for longears? What type of habitat are they most common in, and any advice on how to target them specifically, so I am more likely to catch them than other sunfish?
Thanks,
AZ Burns
