Fishing with minnows @ Strawberry?

[Kent]

You can only catch fish by fishing where the fish are located. With that in mind, I troll the minnows at, or slightly above, where the fish are located at the time. At Strawberry this is often between 15 to 25 feet (substantially shallower early and late in the day). Realize that the boat will often spook the fish up there, if you are trolling in water that is about 20 feet or shallower, so although you may not see fish on the fish finder, there may still be fish to be caught. I prefer fresh minnows -- cheaper for me because I already own my casting net, and I believe they work a little better because they are a little fresher. However, frozen shiners do hold up better than most other minnows do when they are thawed.
