Curious if your shiners (I think you had emerald shiners?) can keep themselves going despite the hungry YP feeding on them?

The emerald shiners are in there but not as many as the common shiners we have. We have to trap them deeper than the common shiners. The YP are on average about 13" and really love the crayfish. As soon as the crayfish get to about 1" in the late spring they just feed on them. Every perch we catch has crayfish in them.

If I could figure out how to make my google drive public again I would. Just spent the last 10 minute on my google account and can't find where and how to do that.

I did up load them to this thread some how lol.

Cheers Don.
