He sold me a few bunk shiners in the past. One died before I hit the water at paradise.  :smt010
I think he is expensive, and only use him as a last resort, but if you get a good shiner it does work.

Live bait in San Jose: -- Fishery Supply
Live bait in Oaklan d-- Mikes bait shop (Forgot what the new name is now)
Live bait at San Rafael -- Lochmond
