Live shad, live shiners are my number 1 and 1a bait for spillway fishing.everything else is number 2. Good luck my friend, let me know If you have any questions. I posted a video on YouTube of me shivner fishing for snook and tarpon, just type in Alafia River shiner fishing. You will not be dissapointed, put them in a 5 gal bucket with aerator and some bait saver salt, good to go. However, I have 4 ponds within a mile of my apartment that are slap full of shiners and a ditch that runs 30 ft from my door that can be loaded. It's just that I live kinda far from the salt, 10 miles or so and bait spots are further. I do this all the time, and I am not trying to sound like an arrogant ***. I am telling you though there are the best live bait for the brackish ad freshwater snook, with a par second being gizzard shad, but those are hard to catch where I am at.įish your shiners exactly the same way you would for bass, put them under a float or balloon, or you can troll them. Under a spillway when it's flowing it's a go. However this depends on where exactly I am. As a general rule, if I am in an area where there shorelines have a good many mangroves, the shiners might not do as well. I have tried it all, pretty much every kind of fresh and salt water bait fish in these situations. If you are fishing spillways, rivers, or far up in creeks you will not find a better bait, not by half. In my experience shiners do better than bluegills in the brackish water, they sure as hell get bit 10x better. Some ponds, the shiners don't do as well, however I have a couple ponds that the I can take the shiners an throw them pretty much into entirely saltwater and they live plenty long to fish with. With shiners it depends a lot on the water they come out of. However, they can be alot more hardy than you may think. They def don't do well if you toss them under the mangroves in the bay or something. Shiners are probably the best bait for river snook, spillway fishing, or any real brackish areas. I have a 50 gal bait tank on my porch which I keep shiners in for extended keeping.
