If you are fortunate to catch red-sided shiners and can use them fresh, I prefer them over any other minnow. They tend to get a little mushy when they are thawed out. This time, I spread them out on a cookie sheet and froze them first, before putting them in bags and vacuum sealing them. I hope they won't be as mushy, when I thaw them out, but we will see.
