Charles,when you see that 8" shiner working a weedline and your float
goes
under,you are going to be spoiled,especially when that 10# hawg yanks on
your arm!
Remember to reel down to the fish,and when you set the hook don't leave
anything to the imagination.
Then it's a state law that you have to yell SON!!!!

I got a question for ye Moe... On one of the pre-fishing days, I'm
planning
on picking up some shiners and seeing what happens. What sort of
terminal
tackle am I going to need for this?

Ok, here's another. If I find fish using shiners, what are the
chances
that
I'll be able to trick them into biting artificial baits later?

Charles, if you plan of fishing shiners, you need a 7' rod spooled
with
20+
test. Make sure the rod has enough backbone to work the fish from
the
grass.
Plan on spending around $15 a dozen for the bait.

To anwser your 2nd question, shiners or live bait are often used to
locate
fish. Several tournaments have been won on fish located with live
bait.
The key
is finding a method to make them bite. If the fish are active, this
doesn't
pose a problem but if not, then you need to experiment until you
find
what
it
takes. Locating the fish is always the hardest part in my opinion.
If
I
can't
get located fish to bite, I often downsize my equipment and baits
and
try
to
finess them. This seems to work almost anywhere.

to do one day!!!!! I'll pitch in for some shiners!
