Preserved Minnows Help, and some other questions
Hello all, this is my first post here so thank you for the help you have given in what I've read so far, and thank you for the help you give me.
So onto my questions, in California under my understanding we cannot use live minnows. I picked up some preserved emerald shiners in a bag because I think those would work well, but I haven't had any luck yet. For those of you that have used these, how do you rig them? The way I rigged them was hooking them through the middle of the back on a little drop shot hook, and tipped it with a patzuke fireball. Would rigging them on a jig like a soft plastic work better, or something else? Another question would be do you use crappie nibbles or the patzuke fireballs, and do you just tip the hook with them, or slide them all the way down to the bait/lure. Thank you all again, I cannot wait to read the feedback and learn more.
