Well, first of all that is awesome that you let them go! Because you are right they are spawning and they are on the beds. You are fishing an area that most anglers only get to read about. I’ve fished for bass all over the state, and when I used to go to Texas every year all those Texans could talk about was coming north and fishing for that real mean small mouth that they only read about. So cherish what you have and keep letting them go to be there another day.
To answer your question about using a shiner man what I would give to be able to use a shiner on the tournament days when you can’t by a bite, but your right it is very illegal to fish with live bait during a bass tournament. To make me feel good to know that young guys like you are out there and respecting the fish and its habitat. Because we are the only ones that will, for the next generation of anglers. Next time you’re in the shop make sure to say hi, I’d like to shake your hand. Will see you out there. Mark
