Kent-
Yes we were out of the canoe. We stayed in the general area of Renegade just because of that. Do you think that I didn't catch anything on the minnows while we were anchored because we were so close into shore? Do you usually anchor up farther out? Do you ever get rainbows on the minnows? When you do drift the minnows, do you put any weight on there? I was worried that we might be moving too fast, that's why I put the sinkers on there.
I thought tha the chubs were not gamefish and that they wanted them out of there anyways. I wasn't throwing the shiners up there, just the larger ugly chubs. That's still considered wantful waste? You're right though, they'd make great bait for other species. I've never fished for macs nor been to the Gorge, but I bet they'd be awesome for some large channel cats.
