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.

This! No bait shop I have seen in central Florida sells small shiners, only mediums and large, Missouri Minnows and on a rare occasion Rosy Reds. Ain't seen Rosies in years though. Wish I knew one of the guys that fishes wild shiners for the bait shops. I would have em get me a couple hundred 1.5" - 2" wild shiners when needed. Years ago across the street from the dump in Deland you could net em out the pond by the road, but thats gone to development now.Originally Posted by johndeere5045
