I am having trouble finding minnows at the local gas stations this time of the year, so I went and bought one of the minnow cages off of Bass Pro Shop. In says that you need to put bait in the middle of the cage to attract the minnows. Does anybody know what type of bait you should use? Has anybody used one of these cages before and had some success? Thank you and I really appreciate all the help this website provides for younger crappie fisherman.
