What size minnows do the live bait guys use this time of year? I'm thinking about using some as I'm not doing very well on just jigs alone right now.

#4's
always small on a pole
#4???? Never heard of that term before. I use as small as I can get most all the time, with or without a jig. Only time I go to med. is for deep, open water fishing in the fall in Texas.
Speaking of minners in general, I got a question. Down here in Florida, they sell them by weight. Quarter pound, half pound and so forth. Do any other places sell them that way?? Where I was raised it was all ways by the dozen. (At least down here, I get a lot more minners for the price...since I use small ones.)

mixed small and medium, by the 1/4 #, don't seem to matter if they are feeding in the grass and pads.
I use small minnows. The best way to figure it out is to cut open the crappie's stomach when you fillet them and see what they are eating. I have found that the crappie that I catch are feeding on the exact type minnow I'm using as well as the same size.
small they seem to work the best right now
