GSH = golden shiner. They are purely a sustaining forage fish for the SMB to supplement the YP. GSH are bait- and egg-stealers but I only fish with artificial lures. Interestingly, I actually caught one on a small hard bait before hooking the SMB last summer. I keep a natural edge on my pond which is pretty maintenance free once planted and established. Swimming access is via a fixed dock with a gangway to a floating dock that has a flip up ladder. This eliminates stirring up mud. The deck does need staining every few years but beaches need care too.
