Good topic carlos the iceman campos. I love buying that giant sucker at the bait shop and putting it down the hole. It might not get hit but if it does their is nothing cooler. The possibilities of what could be on the hook is best part.
Best bait to get hit ,I have to say is shiners. We're not allowed to bring in bait here so it has to come from MN. I liked the silver shiner better than are golden shiner. Silvers came from the south and aren't allowed anymore.
If you live in MN, in Chisago City there is a bait shop called "Frankie's" that sells a "river blend" and let me tell you they're awesome. There is around 4 to 5 different type of minnows in there. If you fish lakes with rivers going in and out ,they would work good.
