Bassandgrass,
That sounds like the ones. I used to get a few 1-1/2 inchers that I called "keepers". Anything over an inch made cracking good bait.
I know a couple of ponds where I can net some. It only takes a few hatches (one summer)to build up a huge population.
Meadowlark,
The more I think about it, the more I think you are right. Shrimp and gambusia are probably a light snack, and I will have to stock some rosy reds etc. for the main course.
Thank y'all,,,
