Some fishermen prefer blonds. Some fishermen like them large. I'm sitting here finishing my seemingly endless chore of organizing tackle boxes when the thought occured does size and color matter if you are a true fisherman. I have heard it both ways. I know a tuffy minnow can be a medium to large size (2-3 inches) and have a blueish hue to it. A blond minnow is lighter and smaller so the fishi can inhale it better. It is usually 1 to 1.5 inches in length. Still others like Roosy Red minnows.
To me a smaller minnow stays alive longer in the minnow bucket and will attract more fish looking for an easy meal. I'll put mine on a #4 light wire hook so it moves more easily. What is your opinion? Does size and color really make that big of a difference?

A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.
I prefer brunettes. ?(spelling) As far as size I like a thin woman but not skinny. No beer guts.
Oh you were talking about bait!!!!!
Ship, when I was using minnows I liked the one to one/half inchers, but since I quit buying minnows and started using the nibbles, I have caught more and larger fish than I ever did with the minnows. Thanks guys for putting me on the right track.
If I had a choice it would be small somewhat, but I buy from a distributor for low cost so what ever he has, LOL!
Would love to get some Rosy Reds, but hardly ever has them.
Get a half pound for about $6 and pound for I think $9.
My minnow fishing is not that much and only in the summer as I really don't care for messing with them.

I fish with small minnows 90% of the year but in Nov. the medium minnows will out fish the small.

I get mine pond raised. Can't beat a good ol' minner that's tougher than the crappie he's hunting.
You can't finish what you don't start
Starting in the Spring I will use smaller minnows and then as the season progresses I will go to larger minnows. Just as with any lures you use for any game fish. Bait is smaller in the Spring and then grows in size as the Season progresses. I will usually have both large and small minnows with me in the boat all the time. I give them what they want, when they want minnows. EB
DO-GOODER EXTRADINAR :p
I have often wondered about this theory, do you think that a gamefish can actually look at a bait fish and conclude that it is to small if it is late in the season and therefore be wary of it?
I personally dont but then again who knows what goes on in their minds.......I guess a good example would be using a tadpole type lure or maybe something that resembled bass fry late in the fall
I can only wish to be as good as my dog thinks I am
I feel like if the minnow is alive and wiggling and the fish is hungry...he's gonna try to eat it. I have noticed with minnows that its like fishing with lures a lot of the time...the larger the bait the bigger the fish .....it just seems like you catch bigger crappie on bigger minnows sometimes.
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.
