Yeah I was going to jig with them . Talked to Ron ,He said He knows a lake 1/2 hr.away that has lots of trout. Sounds like fun to me.

The ones I have look just like a shiner.

The orange one are rosies, med. shiners,and fat heads.

depends on what kind of bait fish are in the pond u are fishing on if keep ur trout cut them open and find out what they been munching on. thats what i do one pond i fish i use dace for trout and the other i have to use shiners. its funny but try to match ur bait to what the fish are used to and u may get more stikes

I believe bringing bait in from out of state is illegal.

Selling it is, but if its not on the do not use list I think he's all set. 8)
