Artificial Minnows

[lcookie]

Does anyone on here ever night fish with artificial minnows? If so how much sucessful have you been?

[crappieseeker]

do you mean literally shaped exactly like minnows? or do you mean minnow style plastic baits that imitate a minnow look?

I like these. Plus i make some which glow in the dark. I have pretty good success in the 4am hour before my stroke.

I was thinking more of the minnow imitations. Like the gulp alive stuff.

Ship,

Are you still fishing them or imparting action?

I would think still fishing a gulp alive minnow would just look like a dead minnow to a crappie. Wouldnt you alwyas have to impart action on an artificial? Or have enough wave action if float fishing to have it moving down there?

I keep mine moving slowly....then pause....then move slowly under a slip float.

I have used the gulp alive 3" minnows and they work great. They get bites almost as much as live minnows from what I have experience with.
