I would think that they are most likely chubs. Which you can use.

Thank you Tyme2fish. I looked it up and it says any fish that is not considered a game fish can be taken for bait as long as it's less than 6 inches long and there is a 500 fish limit.

Depending on the waters just be careful you don't catch any baby asian carp and transplant.

If you catch any fantail minnows they are the absolute best minnow for smallmouth. Freeline them off points, especially in the fall, and they will tear them to pieces. I read somewhere that fantail minnows prey on smallmouth beds and the smallies have a natural instinct to kill fantails on sight.

Although I'm pretty sure the asain "crap" haven't made it to the creeks I fish I promise to brutally smash any I catch with a rock!
