[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]We, IFG, Petty and myself, were up there Friday and hit every marina ramp and dock on the lake looking for shiners. Nada. We did manage about 300 chub minnows though. Beggars can't be chosers. Last weekend, the Aspen Grove marina was thick with shiners. Unfortunately I didn't have my cast net.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]We also talked to a F&G officer and he said later in the summer, the shiners kind of disappear. I wouldn't of thought that last weekend. I could of filled up an ice chest if I had not forgot my cast net, with 4" - 6" shiners. I did manage about 60 nice shiners last weekend in a minnow trap hung off the slip dock, using dry dog food as bait. Beautiful bait for ice fishing.[/size][/black][/font]
