We do have bass and crappie. Lake management folks tell me the minnows are mainly there to give the existing predators something to chase while the blue gill get established. "They" also say if there are enough golden shiners, they also have fair chance of becoming established in the lake. I have received two different opinions about whether to spread them out or not. Guess I am looking for some tie breakers. We are over in East Texas, Lufkin Thanks
