Can't be that much of a drive if the guys i talked with live on Crescent at
the north end up by Dunn's creek - and they go to Georgia Boys for their bait.

Heck down here we go 50 -72 miles for minnows.............duh.
Do have 2 places closer to tampa but they sell by dozen and most could be used
for sardnes if you had a bad day.

Missouri minnows and Bull Nose are the most hardy and popular, they come out
of Arkansas.
Have used the Rosey Red's couple times at various lakes in Florida - found to be
no difference in catch rate.
