Glass Minnows?
In the last week everything that I have caught has been gorged with glass minnows and they are so thick off my dock I could walk on them. They are about an inch long and I was wondering if they are of any use, whether it is chumming or using them for bait. There has been some white bait around my dock as well. I have been using live shrimp on a mission fishin jig head right now and have done well catching everything from black sea bass to sheepshead to grouper(catch and release) heart breaking because I had my personal best gag from my kayak of 26 inches. Any thoughts on these minnows?

Like smelt?
I guess, I never had smelt though.
The Cubans call the Glass Minnows "Majua". If you google Majua fish, you can probably find recipes.

What's next? squid? clams? crabs?
Really can't believe no one asked for pictures, you guys are getting soft.
Yeah, when they are around in numbers and the local fish are eating them, it's best to "match the hatch". Personally, I use a fly rod and a glass minnow imitation (or a very small swimbait) as I have never been able to effectively use glass minnows as bait either alive or dead.
Nothing to write home about but pretty good. I'm not huge on fried though. Think I will just use them as chum.

as long as they were fried crunchy I'd eat them too. Just hadn't thought about it before.
