Is the difficulty in getting shiners due to the stirred up lake this year and turbidity inshore, the algae coming on earlier, poor shiner spawning due to the weather, something else or combination of all these? I can understand the full moon problem but we have had some calm nights and not a full moon lately so would be interesting to know what is driving their problems...

Are you using a mobile devise? If so push down/tap and hold on the link and then use the menue that pops up to open in a new window! or go to OGF and open the link for Emerald shiners. Magee East has posted some interesting stuff about YOY walleyes being so plentiful that the netters cannot keep their shiner catch due to possessing walleyes under 15".

I just checked the link from my desk top and it opened for me ok.
