What are minnow lures used for?

The term minnow is usually used for long, slender, lures that imitate baitfish, while the term plug is usually used for shorter, deeper-bodied lures which imitate deeper-bodied fish, frogs and other prey.

Do catfish like dead minnows?

Channel cats will also bite fresh dead shad, perch, bluegill used whole or in chunks as well as minnows and a variety of other dead and live baits. Natural baits are going to be a better option if your goal is to catch larger channel catfish.

How deep is too deep walleye?

Flat basins at 40+ feet can be productive for walleyes. The only problem with catching them that deep is that you usually can not release them because their eyes will be bulged out and their air bladders might be popping out of their mouths.
