Whats the best way to fish with live minnows?

The best way to fish with live Minnows is to leave them as they are, alive. Living fish that move are much more likely to attract larger fish than a dead fish on a hook. Try hooking the minnow through the lip - that way they can move somewhat naturally, and if you're unable to catch fish with them - you're able to release them relatively unharmed afterward.

What is the life cycle of minnows?

I won't lie, Minnows don't have a very long life-cycle. Minnows are first eggs laid near water plants and rocks. After just a few weeks, the minnows hatch into teeny-tiny fry. (baby minnows). The baby minnows stick together into a tiny school. Keeping each other save and feeding together. After a few more weeks, the fry turn into Adult minnows and separate. However sadly, once they are adults they are eaten my bigger fish, and mammals.Olivia the animal lover
