It's been on and off for me as well and so far only BG, but I've only tried with small plastics on an ultra light and the little marshmallow power baits. Time to break out the nightcrawlers!
I need to learn more about the golden shiners but I don't know if/how they would survive in my pond or if it would be the right thing to do. I'll check the archives and do some research.
Sure is encouraging to catch that first fish after ice out
