    I use whatever the bad shop has. If we keep this up I might want to start trapping some.

    I have only gotten a few of them. Certainly doesn't take long for them to get bit

    I buy and stock #4 Emerald Shiners. They seem to do well on their own or on the end of a jig hook. They need a insulated minnow bucket, quality air stone and air pump upgrade if your in the heat to keep them alive. The Sure-Life tablets work wonders too.

    I prefer the larger #8 grade shiners but I have a few friends that want the larger "bass" minnows. They consistently catch larger than average crappie with them.

    For open water Fishing it's medium sized Shiners if the Bait store doesn't have Herring. Herring is my first choice. Fatheads and small Shiners thru the ice. I use a #1 Nickel or Bronze Aberdeen Hook and one or two medium sized split shot. The light wire pulls it through snags well. The gap opens up and I get the Rig back. My brother and I tie up Spinner Rigs with small Beads and size 0 or 1 Colorado Blades that sometimes make a huge difference in catch rate. Attraction to the big eye Crappie.
