Sounds like you should have started threading your minnows.
Not a bad idea; except I have a hard enough time hooking them through the lips when it's cold like this. Stand in waist deep, 40° water long enough while constantly dipping your hands into a bait bucket, you lose your dexterity in your hands pretty quick! LoL Not to mention, the fish wouldn't touch a dead minnow. So having to re-bait every 5 minutes doesn't help
