I have recently been researching the local minnow populations in MN, (I saw a group of 3"-5" fish in a stream I didn't recognize, after hours on the net I think that they are Pearl Dace). I was amazed to find out how many "minnows" there are.
I found a wholesale bait website,
http://www.gollonbait.com/baitfish.html, that lists 14 diffrent baitfish. Including fatheads, several chubs, dace and mudminnows. Is there any reason to use another minnow sized fish instead of fatheads or in addition to them?
What are some of the best to put into a SMB or LMB/ bluegill pond?
