Thanks, CJB!
But, the ones we think are Arkansas shiners (cause that's what the guy in the bait shop and his supplier call them) are silver in color with a little bit of greenish tint on the top. I'm not sure if they are really Arkansas shiners but they look like the same fish when I look them up on the web.
The golden shiners are gold in color according to all the pictures I've seen so, I'm pretty sure that they aren't the same.
Everything we've seen come out of the fish's bellies have been either silver or they are sorta white like they've been partially digested.
I have a minnow trap but it's not a very good one and it really hasn't been working very well. We haven't caught anything in it after several tries and several different kinds of bait - bread, crackers, and cotton seed meal. Maybe I need a better trap.
