How to catch black fish?

[FurFishGame]

Hey, I was wondering how you guys go about catching these little buggers, I never have caught one and it'd be cool to add to my pictures of different species....and I'm getting a little tired of fried trout, so some new flavor would be great....I was thinking of using a small dry fly (like a mosquito or something like that) on a bobber and se what happens. maybe a No 10 snell with a bit of night crawler?

Thanks! Have a good day!

Use a small hook with bait. Try Campbell point lake in anchorage. It is hard to fish there without catching one.

Since when are there blackfish in Campbell Point Lake? (Beer Can, Little Campbell)

I caught one out at Campbell Point Lake (beer can) 2 winters back. Pink shrimp through the ice, just off the bottom. Had no idea what it was when I caught it, another guy out there told me what it was. I released it but kind of wish I had kept it and tried it out, hear they are decent eating.

Any time I've ever caught one was off the bottom, and any bait will do. Just sit and wait.

I caught one with my hands at the tailrace one day.

Hm.... I might have to take a look again. Now, we are still talking about the fish that looks like the mutant offspring of a burbot and pike, right?

My son and I caught quite a few at beer can this last winter. All of them were tiny but there must be larger ones out there. They liked the single eggs we were dropping in hopes of char.

Are you speaking of sculpin , or is there some species of fish in this state I have never heard of or seen in 35 years ? By the description above it sounds like a sculpin which are common in about every water I have fished.

Thanks for the link, all news to me. Now I may have to target them and see if they slipped my memory, or eluded my hook all this time.

You can catch them on nearly any bait, as mentioned above. Just make sure you don't try catch them in spawning mode or all hail will break loose. ;-)

I caught black fish out of campbell point lake at least 4 or 5 years ago. They are in Campbell Taku too. I also pulled a nice 3# rainbow out of campbell taku while ice fishing, that was not a stocked spawner.
