minnows very scarce, but did have some large ones in the mix of smaller, minnows in full spawn right now, so the small ones will be the only ones from here on out.Ran out to my spot Ive been fishing for three weeks in shipping channel, wow! is all I can say. It was doubles and triples non stop with the odd farm animal exhibition, had a double of those that was quite the battle lol, my cats are appreciative that I keep a bunch for them...very good quality perch, in three hrs. with very little sorting, three man limit and 16lbs of meat.They really liked the bling that day.Nice to own the whole lake with the odd freighter going by.
