How Electrofishing Works

Southern Sportsman Aquatics & Land Management was featured on WXII Channel 12 News Austin Outdoors Show in Winston Salem, North Carolina.  We took the crew to our client Willow Oaks Plantation to see some nice bass, big crappie and some of the largest redear sunfish you have ever seen.  Click on the photo below and watch the 2.5 minute segment on electrofishing.
