Emerald Shiners

The older gentleman @ A&J said today that the high water and the rain in combination with the high winds causing clairity problems since the last full moon has been what he thinks is the reason. I asked him if he thought there was an overall population shortage of shiners and he said he did not think so but the lack of catching them would be the current conditions that was causing the problem. I will take his word for it as they also run minnow boats.

I too heard with the lack of water clarity, the light isn't penetrating enough to draw the shiners to their nets. Hopefully with this continued dry and stable weather the water will clear and solve that problem. The high water will be with us for awhile. Assume it makes it easier for the little buggers to have more weeds and water to hide in back in the wetlands and creeks as well?
