Largemouth Bass question

[mcsnapper1]

Thanks for both of your answers! Crayfish are pretty easy for me to catch (I see you're from NH, i'm not sure if you're familiar with Spot pond in Mass, right off 93 exit 34, but the crayfish are everywhere in there) as far as the shiners go, I assume buying them from the pet sore or bait shop would still be considered feeder fish, so I should catch them in the wild? How exactly do you catch a fish that small? You'd think that'd be easy. As for feeding them trout, they do eat the trout here as well, but the problem is getting trout small enough that they'll actually eat.

Do you have a hatchery or trout farm near you? If so, you may be able to get fingerlings cheap.

I wouldn't say near, it's about a 45 min drive on a good day, and there aren't many good days to drive down there this time of the year. That's awesome though, I didn't know you could buy them from the hatchery. Thanks for that tip!
