[cool][#0000ff]The perch and bass (and trout) in Mantua feed heavily on small perch and bluegill fry. But, for some reason, dead minnows have never been a big producer. You will do better to fish waxies or crawlers until you catch a perch and then use perch eyes or strips of perch meat. On some days you will catch more fish on a piece of crawler than anything else. No need to spend the money for minnows if you are just going after perch, etc.[/#0000ff]
