I always tip the minnows with grubs, read are deadly, but white works good too. When I went down to the dock yesterday afternoon, there was a young man fishing right next to where I sit and I asked him if anything was biting. He replied "not much", as he was using live minnows.
I told him about the Minnow Rig and how many perch I was getting, but he didn't believe me. So I said "let's see how long til I get one" and then I dropped my line. Had one on in about 30 seconds, and then started to catch them on a regular basis as schools came by every three or four minutes.
Everyone there left while I continued to catch fish. I will often out-fish anyone using live minnows and other rigs like crappies jigs and so on. Its pretty amazing! I just ordered another 1,000 red grubs and can't wait to go again. The weather is turning very cold for now, but it will warm up a bit later. I'll keep you informed on the different rigs."
Thanks.
