i bought 10 lbs of large pike shiners last year at lehiighton at bc bait while i make a trip to cabelas or bite the bullet and order from andersons  my advice get yourself bulk tanks pond pump keep outside i had bait live last year from december 12 (i remember the day beacuse my dog died the day before and needed to get my mind off of things) and lived into mid march then i had to go throw it in the creek by my house before they died  because the water was getting to warm i do buy big bait around here but they arent chubs or shiners its what i get my big fish on i said to much already but good luck

       We have a few creeks that we get some dandy size shiners in with our minnow traps.Lots of creek chubs mixed in.I personally like creek chubs for eyes.Now im in northeast Pa.Buy a minnow trap and give it a try in some deeper holes in the creeks in your area .I think you can get a trap for around 12 bucks or so.I like to trap them out of the creeks coming from a beaver dam.Good luck.

What do you use for bait in the monnow traps ?

dry dog food works good..not to much though ...less is more in this case!
