Back in the spring when it was cooler, he was still only getting a 100 minnows. Your dad is like my grandfather, once he is set on something, no one or nothing will change their mines .

That is exactly how he is. Every now and then I can talk him into buying 50 more.

Rofl .... why don't YOU guys buy the minners, instead of letting "daddy 100 only" buy them ??? You get 200 minners, and tell him "yeah, I just bought 100 minners" .... (while saying to yourself -- 100 for YOU & 100 for ME !!)

Or you could just buy (or let him buy) 100 minners, and you use jigs !!

Then again ... buy 10 doz (=120) since most bait shops sell/price by the dozen, anyway. OR buy them from a baitshop that doesn't COUNT EVERY SINGLE MINNER :p ... or one that sells them by weight, & get a pound !! Depending on size, you'll get between 8-12doz minners per pound ... so, at the very least you'll get close to 100 minners, and possibly over 140 (& they're usually cheaper by weight, than by dozens).

Its not so much that he buys them but that all he wants to take. And i have notice when i am setting in there, he will watch/go in with Kenny when he gets the minnows. Even if stsburnsy told Kenny 200 and that he was paying for it, i think his dad would still say no, 100 please. He is just like my grandfather. Around Green you can only get them by dz or by hundreds, that i know of. Cheaper by the hundred. I wish you could gettem by the pound around there. Its about 200 minnows and a couple bucks cheaper.

Hey Chuck .... have you ever bought minners from PDQ (East New Circle Rd) ?? They sell them by the pound !! I guess they still sell minners ... though, since they no longer seem to operate 24hr/day, I haven't had the opportunity to check. They were closed the last two times I went by, on my way to the lake.
I used to buy them there ... and count/weigh & bag my own. I've even bagged up around 3lbs & taken them to Tenn, back when I used to go there & fish for a week. They have a O2 tank, bags, rubber bands, & a scale ... so you (or they) can bag them up for travel. I'll have to find out if they still have minners, and what their operating hours are !! I'll see what their price per pound is, too !!

Thats where i used to get my minners back when crazy Mike worked there. Then the quality of the minners went down. I used to put only a half a pound in a bag and alot of them still died after a while. Started using Duffs but then they closed. Now, if i need minnows in a bag for 2-3 days, i go to backwaters on New Circle Rd. They will put a half a pound in a bag and they will last 2-4 days, as long as you keep them cool. Or, if they are open, on my way down i will stop at Rocky top and gettum.

Called PDQ & they said they still sell minners, but are currently out of them (until next Wed !!! ) Dummy me forgot to ask them about the price per pound

They're no longer open 24/7 ..... 5-9 weekdays & 7-9 weekends (so that's why they were closed the last couple of times I went there)

I used to go to Duff's, too. (I knew him from school) Also used to go to 7th St. Bait .... both long gone. I liked Duff's because he seperated his minners by size (sm/med/lrg).

Backwaters is OK ... Bill is a good feller. Rocky Top closes around 9PM I think ... which is why Carl & I had to buy minners at Chimney Rock Marina, on our last trip (we passed Rocky Top at around 930PM & they were closed).

(sorry for hi-jackin your thread, burnsy)

He just wants to get 100 (no matter who pays) ...he just can't take the heat like he used to. When the weather is cooler if we run out by 11 we will go get more if the bite is hot. I'm just glad to still be able to take him fishing.
