These fish appeared in our lake a couple of years ago. We only catch them while ice-fishing. I think it is a white fish but am not sure.

GOLDEN SHINER

I have seen these and even caught one on Otisco lake 10" and was told it was a golden shiner.

I've fished Otisco a lot as well and caught numerous of these shinners.

I gave mine to a guy who was using tip up's for tiger muskie's

At first I thought it may be a white sucker but I was told different by another fisherman.

We call that Pike bait!

adkRoy · « **Reply #9 on:** Jan 31, 2006, 11:14 AM »

I think someone put these in the lake from dumping out their bait bucket. DEC hasn't stocked anything in this lake since 1970. Thanks everyone.

That is what we call a bait bandit!

Great bait for the toothy critters.

We have a good population of those in my home lake. I've caught a few up to 13". I'd say if you fished that lake during the summer with down sized panfish gear, you'd probably catch a few in the shallow weedy areas. When they school up the in shallows during early summer I can catch as many as I want using a minnow hook and a piece of marshmellow. GREAT BAIT!

yes golden shiner.
Check this shiner out, bigger than the pumkinseed, and I caught it on a little minnow bait.

great bait for big pike

Camo...wish I could get bait that size up here, what the stores call large is 4-5 inch, whatever happened to that stuff at 7-9 inches?

camo_fish · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 31, 2006, 06:51 PM »

I hear of people catching there own, cause the baitshops don't carry big anough bait. $:-\$ If I get some more this spring, think I'll keep 'em for catfish bait on the river.

fishingking · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 31, 2006, 07:45 PM »

Thats a Dandy Golden Shiner they put up a decent fight as well

great pike bait and great too put into your farm pond

Ive always had better luck getting numbers of them at late ice ussually throw em in a bucket of water and put them in the pond. Also get one every once in awhile crappie fishing at night.
