Rsquared is correct in his explination on the use on minnows. Myself I prefer emeralds and fatheads about 2 inches. Last week and the week before when I bought shiners I got some about 4 inches.....those are bass and walleye size. With no current to contend with you can just about free float them or a very small amount of split shot about 18 - 20 inches from the bait just to get a slow sink. As the water gets colder I've often used dead or salted minnows and just dead drift them through the current and along the bottom with some extra weight. Some of my biggest hens have been caught on salted minnows.
