Left over shinners

I believe most of the goldies we get around here are actually farmed in Arkansas.

The point I was making is that if you are afraid of the bait you are using being released into the water...you shouldn't be using it to catch fish.

Not every minnow you put on a hook, will stay on the hook. There is a chance some of them will escape. Bait can escape while you are trying to bait the hook, or can get off the hook and live.

Just because we haven't seen an issue in the past 10 years, doesn't mean that we won't see an issue in the next 10 years. It is always a risky game, introducing a new species into any body of water.

Does anyone use fat heads, if so how do they do compared to shiners ?
