Fishing with Golden Shiners

Golden Shiners
It’s no secret especially to Southern Bass Fishermen how deadly shiners are at taking big bass, many a day at stick marsh, blue cypress and Okeechobee I used suckers for some of the biggest bass of my life and the truth is Striper likes them just as much. They like suckers and chubs are a easy bait to keep alive in the bait tank. But for stripers bigger is better or you will find out why they are so good for bass. 8 to 12 inch shiners are much too large for all but the biggest bass in Beaver Lake and make them a perfect candidate for catching Stripers unmolested by other fish except perhaps a big Blue or Flathead catfish.
Catching them is simple in most the area streams with some foot work and the faithful cast net. As with the previous baits they are a deadly means of catching stripers and simple to use.
