Shiners

[snowgoose]

I have heard there is a shortage of Shiners this year. I am coming to Rapids Friday and will be fishing Winnie on Sat. Anybody know who will have bait in the area?

I talked with Don at Rapids Tackle yesterday and he had just received a supply of shiners on Tuesday. Should be stocked up pretty well for opener. Good luck fishing.

Thanks Ed
That is where I usually buy bait.

I here that just about every year. I think it is a way to drive up the price.

If you cant find them there, check the river rat. They usually have them when everyone else is out. Good luck, trying to find a place to park at the landing that is.

Anyone got a secret to keeping shiners alive? Mine always die the minnut they hit the water.

willow, get yourself an old 32 qt cooler, drop your shiners in , keep your water cold and use one of those battery powered airators. Got a quart of shiners sat morning haven't had one roll up in my cooler yet as of tonite.

Check out the new oxygenator unit from aquainnovations. Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops both have it.This will keep your shiners strong until you hit the lake. Way better than just an air bubbler. It works good in the livewell too.

If they are dieing as soon as they hit the water there is too much of a temp. difference. you need to let them get acclimated to the water temp slowly.
Also look for old aquarium bubblers at garage sales.
