i think its going to be just as hard if not harder then last year so got a few friends who own bait shops and a few friends who have minnow boats was told they think 80 percent of minnows are gone due to smaller walleye eating them and white bass are thriving and eating them a long with perch and other fish. a gallon of goldies cost 80 dollars. while a gallon of shinners 30 dollars if you can get them but 1 bait shop has frozen shinners he got in the late fall and winter boats were getting a few as the lake did not freeze up last year and he was the only one buying. he carry's goldies but now the cost is going up to 3.50- 4 bucks a dozen just to break even. one minnow boat owner is quitting to get a job because his operation cost is more then he can make selling shinners. but now ive been told pinheads are showing up so who knows i bought a net and im going out for my own
