Good job ML, I like your project. I have a similar experience with HBG and fishing with minnows. I went to a pond tonight to catch some LMB for transfer to a GSF pond. For bait I used dead minnows and my brother used live minnows. Minnows ranged from 1.7"-3.5". One hour of fishing produced 5 HBG for me and 3 for my borther and one LMB. Yep, HBG like minnows, dead or alive. We quit fishing when the HSB moved in and started biting because it wasted too much time landing them.
