Last year I fished the forage minnow hard,had exellent luck on 1/16 oz green,blue, and orange with a tboned wax worm.The little 1/20 oz frosty's are deadly also,got huge gills on both,crappies,LM bass and perch,I still have a pile of pimples (no. 2's) that can get the job done. Only trouble this year Pa. got bad or no ice.
