With everything warming up, I expect these "shiners" will likely try to reproduce as well. I really have no idea what these fish are all about. My only experience is using them for crappie bait.
The adults I discovered today are too big for anything but the LMB to eat, but if they can have a successful spawn, then everyone benefits.
I'm still amazed that after almost 18 months, this is the first time I've seen them. I walk the pond every day!!
Puller....that's why I haven't invested any money in fish....yet. Still waiting on Overton's to let me know they've got RES in the size I want. And maybe a few CNBG to boost my BG size potential. But its hard to convince yourself to spend money on something that could easily just swim away one day when mama nature decides to rearrange things.
