Bait

[YOTE BUSTER]

I had to go to the R.M.V in Springfield today to replace the quad plate i lostEyeball Roller While i was down that way might as will get some shiners .Pond one the shore line was a little iffy but there was a guy out there already.He wasn't doing all that great but i gave it a shot for one hour and only got 5 shiners.Stopped at pond 2 on a golf course and put a trap in while i went and jigged pond 3.Pond three produced pretty good for the 3 1/2 hours i was there got about 3 dozen

Went and got the trap and there was at least forty 1 inch shiners in it just the right size for crappies and perch.

So it turned out to be a productive day.OH on both ponds the shore line was open but safe and the ice in them was already starting to crystallize

Never trapped shiners before, be a $ saver for us. Usually fisher 16 buys the bait and I get the lunch. How do you trap them?

[YOTE BUSTER]

the bigger ones i catch its more fun or you could buy a shiner trap fill it with bread put it in your shine pond and hope for the best

Nice jod on getting bait Thumbsup . I've been trapping shiners for several years now. You can't beat it when it's free. By doing so it make icefishing the most economical form of fighing I do. Here's what the tanks looked like at the begining of the season. There's over 1000 in the tanks. http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk453/fishgill-photo/Baittanks.jpg Currently there's about 50 dozen left.

do you sell them?

[Fishgill]

do you sell them?


No I don't sell them. I've got a couple of friends that come by and grab a few. They usually donate $3.00 a dozen if they got it. But when we do go fishing no one has to buy any bait.Grinning1

[danderson]

Sweet haul I used to fish for them at the SH Sportsmans club pond when I was a kid. Same deal a really small hook but I tipped it with a small piece of worm also used to catch em with an umbrella net.
