Yes, I have many times. Have you? -
I prefer something I can pull back out of them and reuse. Recycle, baby!!!

My dad, who was an avid fisherman, used minnows all of the time. He had minnow catching net (sort of like the one in the photo) and we would catch them first. He also used nightcrawlers. The ultimate in recycling! He would water the lawn and then we would all go outside that night with flashlights and a bucket and catch them so he had bait.

Yes and still do sometimes.

No

Yes I have. I like fishing.

yes, and maggots, and worms, and bloodsuckers

Yes, minnows work very well, are super easy to catch, and just slip right on the hook via the gills.
-
Yes; Many times around the St. Johns River .....
-
Yup. A handful of minnows will catch you a bucket full of snappers in July and August where I grew up;)
-
Yes, but I have found the best luck by hooking them through the tail. That allows them to "swim around" and entice the bigger fish. Good luck!
-
Many times.....The Crappie and Bass here love them.
-
all the time, although where i live we prefer to use the larger chubs and sucker minnows for fishing on the river for catfish
-
Yes, but worms always worked better for me.
-
I have used them. I still mostly use good old fashioned worms most of the time though. I need to go fishing
-
YES! Lake perch love them in spawn season!
-
Yes, when I was young. I would go fishing wish*edit* -with- my Dad and he used minnows once in a while. I hated sticking them on the hook. Through the eyes, quick and easy I guess. But if went fishing today I would use something else. *edit* I guess I 'wish' I could still go fishing 'with' Dad.

I have but not with the best results. I like using lures and worms, and dry flies, too.
