Bill and others will chime in with more authority but....

An abundance of shiners is an AWESOME problem to have. They have almost no impact on yoy bass and are one of the best forages for them (if you can keep them in large quantity, which is hard since bass love em).

If you had too many BG or Crappie you can run into trouble keeping your bass population up long term since they will prey on YOY basslings.

If its bugging you castnet a bunch out and give them to friends to fish with as live bait. Or maybe sell a few buckets a month to a local bait shop


Im going to ask a lot of questions, but only because I'm clueless
