Kinda sorta. If i can get my hands on some 12-18" common carp I'd drag them around as well for live bait.

The Enoree River is full of suckers, although I don't know if they are the red horse variety.

yeah they used to be hear like that == don't know what happened to um but back in the day it didn't take but
a few minuets to catch enough to go fishin == and crappie loved them things. they piled up little piles of small
gravel = I guess to lay their eggs = and would be big herds of um around it.

Put cotton seed meal in mesh bag and place in river out of the current. Fish next day over or near bag with small red worm. Fun on hand pole or rod. GOOD Eating if you know how to prepare. Filet RHS and leave skin on. Gash every 1/4 inch from meat side down to skin and then deep fry. This fish is full of tiny bones but they will cook out if gashed. This method works great on Jack fish(Chain Pickerel). Good eating folks....
