Pretty good link there that gives good detail, we find that using live minnows typically will increase your catch for the day, make sure to check local regulations though some places don't allow the use of live bait.
The only time I use them is for ice fishing. If they are small (2" and smaller) I hook them through the upper body below the dorsal fin. Larger than 2" I try to hook them through the upper lip for livelier action.
I like them for bass, usually lip hook them.
I use them for crappie fishing. I usually hook them thru the back or tail. Gulp minnows work pretty good to if you are not close to a bait shop that carries them.
Sometimes it depends on the size, but I usually hook them in the mouth or tail. One problem with hooking them in the lip is that on the cast the hook may be ripped out of the mouth. I use them with a float so that I can adjust the depth for the area I'm fishing.
i hook em below the spine which is in the top of the back behind the top fin
