Default rigging minnows

Hi, I'm new to bass/walleye fishing. I was wondering the best way to rig a
live minnow. I am fishing for crappie, large mouth, small mouth and
walleye. The other day I used a baithook and hooked the minnow through the
back had a small splitshot about 6-8" above the hook and a bobber a couple
feet above that. It worked ok I guess, I caught a small bass and a few
perch, but I really do not know if I had the best set up to increase my
chances to catch fish.
Thanks in advance,
Greg


I like minnows rigged through the lips and dragged under barely inflated
balloon. Birds love them.


Seriously, I like to drift a lip hook minnow below barely inflated water
ballon as a float. If there is a current I'll flip it into the water
upstream from target areas and let the current carry it past or over the
target cover/structure.
