Yes bait around helps. Could be shiners but it could be all kinds of other fish. That lake is loaded all sorts of different bait fish. I have noticed much more of it on the screen the last couple years.
We snagged one of the shiners, was about 2.5″ long. This how I know. To answer Carter Johnsons question. Yes you can see fish swarming the bottom but never seen one go up into the shiners yet.

Oh I’m sure they do though. What finny said is so true too- TONS of baitfish out there of a million species. Look up the species list on the dnr lakemaster page for red. Amazing
