Fishing with minnows @ Strawberry?

[Kent]

As I indicated in my first reply, I prefer to drift troll with minnows over trolling with them, and if I can catch fish by anchoring and casting that is even better. When I anchor up I either just put a small split shot on my line, to get the minnow down a little faster, or more often than not, I won't use any weight at all, and just let the minnow drift down as slowly as possible. I have found that I can usually cast far enough with just the weight of the minnow. If the minnow reaches the bottom without getting a bite, I will then start retrieving it, using various retrieval methods, in an attempt in invoke a strike.
