One more tip. When you buy minnows put some snow or ice in the bucket to gradually drop the water temp in the bucket. If you take minnows right from the bait shop to the lake the drastic change in water temp will kill the minnow.

Yes. That’s a great tip! I am actually editing a video for Virtual Angling right now and I mentioned that very same thing in that video.

Damn, that was good information. I was not aware of the shiner vs sucker swimming direction.

Thank you. Great information. Some of which I did not know. I was just thinking the other day about the hook set in minnows with a single hook through the back. Now I know.

Hooking a single hook side to side instead of front to back is exactly how I lost a big fish a couple weeks ago. It would’ve been my PB walleye if that’s what I hooked on the finicky fooler, but when I reeled up my line the hook was doubled back into the minnow exactly how you described it. Now I know for next time 😅

Suckered verses shinners made alot of sense how they swim.

@calebwistad 6 ай бұрын

Yes. They are very different from each other.

@adavis89 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the tips. I never really thought about it before, but I have noticed on my flasher that shiners tend swim up above the sinker.

@calebwistad 6 ай бұрын

Exactly! Or even when you drop them into the hole, shiners are always trying to swim back up.

I like the videos .. presentation is key to catching more species of fish.

I watched that 1 sec. demonstration multiple times of you hooking the minnow with a treble hook and it was so quick I couldn't tell what you were doing.

@calebwistad 5 ай бұрын

Sorry! Basically I’m just putting one prong of the treble hook all the way through the minnow just under the front of the dorsal fin and into the minnow about 1/16 of an inch.

Try hooking minnows as low as possible in the belly. They swim well, last long and for whatever reason I catch more fish than others.

@calebwistad 5 ай бұрын

That works sometimes too!

Such a weird year! Sketchy ice here still which is unheard of in January.

@joesummers9864 6 ай бұрын

What size single hook do you use on the fathead minnows with the auto hook set up ? Great info on your videos

@calebwistad 6 ай бұрын

I typically use #6

@FoulMouthFishing666 5 ай бұрын

They die if you look at em wrong but emerald shiners (aka lake shiners) are the best most versatile bait you can use imo

@calebwistad 5 ай бұрын

Yes. The closest place I can get them is about 70 miles away but I always get them whenever I go through that way!

@HottNikkels 6 ай бұрын

Do you get better hookup ratio with a single or treble hook?

@calebwistad 6 ай бұрын

Single.

@allanpio86 5 ай бұрын

hello,I would like to ask if you have 20lbs braid how many lbs your leader?and 10lbs braid how many lbs the leader?thank you so much.

@calebwistad 5 ай бұрын

Totally depends on the species I’m chasing. Typically I like to go the same or a little lighter than my mainline unless I’m fishing pike and need heavy leader for their teeth.
