I do it through the lips or nostril. Had lots of success. Dead minnows work just as good too.

both. Depends on how finicky they are. If they are biting really good then I go to the back. If not biting very good then I hook through the lips for more action.

Always through the lips.

Lips. especially when trolling. Looks like a live minnow.

Lips when trolling, through back if just dropping down or under float.
When minnows die I pinch the head off and push hook down into body then pull point out top of body. Result is like you were putting the dead minnow on a jig jead.
Throwing the heads in also helps attract fish.

I usually hook them thru the back but yesterday for some reason I hooked thru the eyes. I caught 8 while my partner did not git a bite. He was hooking thru the back. He changed to the eyes and from then on we caught the same. Maybe next time ??? who knows.
