Thread: Where do you get your Minnows

Hey now! I can tell ya this Yelim. As a kid to finishing high schoolnit was a blast growing up there. Hunting and fishing was everywhere. Our bicycles took us on some great outdoor excursions. In high school I mowed grass to pay for my own huntingnclub membership and my own 3 wheeler to hunt off. I was fortunate that we had a spare truck to drive but had to buy my gas and everything else. Saved more money and bought a boat and that furthered our agendas. Ran trot lines in the big river and the barrow pits along the levee and sold enough fish that it supported me till summers came and yards needed mowed. But having no kin there and no other connections to good jobs with the unions i struggled after trade school. When the opportunity came to relocate I jumped on it. Still miss the excellant hunting there, but kinda make up for it by fishing alot. Still get itchy fingers and the strong desires to draw blood very often and occasionally score a trip to SC. Love Florida though, heck I love everywhere i have been in the south.

My local Ace Hardware. Nice and healthy pick them up the night before and keep them slightly iced and plugged into a good air pump until the following early morning (before most bait shops open) departure. They even pick out / save the smaller shiners for me knowing I come in looking for them to add to my minnow order. Nothing beats being considered a regular at a smaller store. They treat me right and have earned my continued support.
