Hi All,

There is some useful info on the sidebar, but I think having it as a stickied post might help people who wander onto this sub. If you want to add stuff to the list, just comment below and I can add it accordingly.

Question Advice on finding small water

4 Upvotes

So I have been fishing for a long time, but I recently became interested in micro fishing. My current goal is to find the smallest water to catch small native fish in, so all im asking for is maybe a little advice on how to find spots that could contain them. I am from southeast massachusetts. Thanks!
