MINNOWS FOR FISHING 
By ROBERT PACE LINCOLN 
M INNOW fishing is largely pursued in 
the summer and fall seasons, and so 
it is a topic that many would like 
information on just now. Beyond any 
doubt the minnows are productive as lures, 
and though some anglers consider their use 
unsportsmanlike, they undoubtedly yield 
captures where other methods fail. 
The average minnow used for bait is not 
large — one that is two or two and one-half 
inches in length is ordinarily considered a 
pretty big fellow. A minnow two inches 
long is about right for crappie fishing, 
and if alive and active will certainly be a 
centre of attraction wherever it dangles. 
Minnows are easily caught in creeks. 
The main ones used as lures are the chubs 
and shiners. The shiners with their glit- 
tering sides are by far the best. The glitter 
catches the eye of the fish at once and the 
latter will take such a lure in nine cases 
out of ten. Preying fishes apparently look 
upon the twirling spoon as a disabled 
shiner, and hence hit and hit it hard. On 
all counts the shiner is the leader as a 
lure, the chub taking second place because 
its coloration is more subdued, while the 
glitter of the shiner’s scales can be seen 
for some distance in the water. 
At the same time the shiner is the most 
tender and sensitive of the minnows, and 
it behooves one to handle them with care 
else their lives are apt to be short. The 
keeping of minnows is another thing to be 
taken into consideration. Many anglers 
stock their boxes complete with minnows, 
only to find that they die in a short time. 
Hardly an angling editor but finds that 
many of these complaints cross his desk. 
So a few directions as to keeping min- 
nows should prove worth while. 
First, never crowd a box or minnow pen 
with too many minnows. This often leads 
to deaths galore. And even three or four 
dead minnows left in your box is a signed 
death warrant for the rest of the minnows. 
The dead ones poison the others, and sud- 
denly you will come out some morning and 
find two-thirds of your minnows dead. So 
weed out carefully all dead minnows, and 
all weak ones. 
Second, see that your box is large 
enough — six by three is not too large, and 
those are good proportions. 
A good box is simply a framework over 
which is stretched wire netting of such 
texture as not to let out the minnows. The 
bottom may be wood, the top should be 
screen, with a trap-door that can be secured. 
A box thus placed in a lake suffers great- 
ly during storms when the waters are bad- 
ly roiled and the great waves wash the 
minnows around. In such cases the box 
should be protected so that the waves will 
not crush it. Often a couple of boats, judi- 
ciously placed, will serve as a wave-break. 
Third, feed in the pen for the minnows 
is another important consideration. Do not 
fail to put northern moss in the box, and 
change this often, sometimes once a day. 
The minnows feed on various parasites 
found clinging to the moss. Finely chopped 
bits of meat, crumbs and other such ma- 
terial may be given in scant quantity. It 
is especially important to have this water 
moss always in the pen.
