Depends on your style of fishing
I like to longline, so I rarely (if ever) use minnows

Went to Granite Shoals this past friday(2-23) Fished in 6' of water and had water temps at 71.97 degs at 3:05 pm. Caught a variety of fish on minnow tipped jigs with 90% coming on the Black/Blue/Black 1/16 oz. Crappie, Largemouth and White Bass along with Channel Cats were biting. Got my first 16" slab of the year. Brought 15 home for the grease along with 2 channel cats. Released the bass so they can tangle and knot my lines up again another day!!!
Nice report. I fished a little further south and did ok. Kept 11 fish. Females had eggs but not matured yet.
