TJ - You better go with Omaha to make it a team effort that will result in better success. The red shiners are a schooling species so if you locate them in a stream you should be able to easily get dozens if not a few hundred with multiple seine hauls in various places along the stream course. IMO Your best success will be in the smaller tributaries during spawning season. They will travel upstream to smaller branches of the stream for spawning. In fall, winter and early spring they would be in the deeper pools that would be harder to efficiently seine.
One thing to try is to go the NANFA.org forum and ask what members in your state know where, what streams, or how to get some red shiners. That group is knowledgeable and helpful. One of them may help do some seining.
