limeyangler Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Just wondering if someone knows exactly what kind of fish this is. Lots of them swimming around the shoreline on Lake Wabigoon. Thanks in advance Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I agree, emerald shiner for sure. Good sized one too, get the dip net out and your in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2fan Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Don't hold back netting some either just because you aren't going fishing for a while. Net and salt em if you ever go perch fishing you will thank yourself later. Last year a few times fishing Lake Erie couldn't catch em or buy em so the salted ones were very handy to have. Just remember though salted ones do count toward your limit of 120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeyangler Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 thanks guys, looks like its a shiner then...lol one more question, can you get them in a minnow trap?/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickster Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 put out a trap with either a slice of bread or some dog food and you should fill the trap in no time if they are as thick in there as you say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limeyangler Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 thanks again guys, i will take a look at making my own minnow trap, Rick they were thick there last night, never seen so many baitfish anywhere before on Wabigoon, a couple around today like i said, but the water is so murky its dificult to see more than a couple inches down, trap will be interesting experiment.
