I've been on the hunt... trying several local water holes. Nothing but small-medium shiners so far.

UPDATE: Ahhh.. still no shiners, but plenty of small pout and crayfish.

I found the mother load of pond shiners this week. They were so thick, they looked like pods of menhaden on the surface. The weeds are a pain but it it will get better soon.

I've caught about 200 so far...

Insane... I'm yet to trap any shiners larger than mediums so far here in NW RI. Everything is small. Have a couple places I want to try, but I'm liable to get arrested for trespassing!

It may be worth it.

Blaine · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 16, 2009, 05:31 AM »

I've yet to figure out how get the little *****s in my traps, but I've been jigging them up like crazy this week. I've had close to 200 so far this week with some up to 11"... You know it's a big shiner when it's taking drag off the reel

comeonnow · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 16, 2009, 01:52 PM »

This nice cold weather and seeing a few snowflakes has made me itchy. Tried a new spot spot today but only trapped about 300 little pout. Guess we'll keep searching and scratching.

comeonnow · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 06:15 PM »

Rhode around most of N.W. RI. and nearby CT. today looking for some new shiner ponds. Got permission to try a few new ones but didn't have much luck. Wish I new how to trap the shiners but not get any pout. Any suggestions?

Wait till ice up and suspend the traps a good foot off the bottom.

We did that last year but are trying to get the tank stocked earlier this year. I wish there was something that we could put in the traps to keep the pout away.

Blaine, are you bragging again

Blaine · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 21, 2009, 05:05 AM »

Well... Maybe just a little

. The local polish comunity has discovered that my shop stocks them and I'm selling them just as fast as I'm catching them. I've got a pike charter this morning or I'd be back out there again. 8)
