A flathead minnow is a small freshwater fish native to North America. It is commonly used as a bait fish for fishing due to its hardiness and availability. Flathead minnows are also used in scientific research for aquatic toxicity testing.
The bait works well as a wounded baitfish imitator, so it will work for many species.
You could trap a shrew with a havahart trap. Bait it with sardines, or peanut butter with Meal worms. If you don't catch it, hire some to do it for you.
There are several types of traps for mice. There is a trap that kills the mouse and a trap that does not kill the mouse. As for the one that does kill the mouse, this is how it works. Once the mouse goes for the bait set on the trap, once the bait is touched, the spring snaps shut.
Animal Control has told me to use raw bacon with salt dumped on it.
As the fish start to slow down and go deeper in cooler waters you can use live bait, such as minnows, to get a strike out of them. A minnow-like lure on a slip sinker works well too.
Not sure if you mean small Shad and other forage or actual minnows sold at bait shops but either way a casting net is best for all of the above rather than any lure.
