bobad, most in SE are golden shiners "crappie minnows" and tuffies also called fathead minnows. In most of todays pond around here they are bass heavy environment. THis means little chance to establish even if you dump the bucket at the end of the day.
The no use of minnow rule was strongly enforced since the 50's forward. Things have changed and George might do it for other reasons but I say throw this rule out if for reaons mentioned.
