Thread: Who sells the big minners at Nader?

Collins Bait Shop almost always has larges. He always gives me a good count too.

We usually buy them the evening before

Vic Finkley use to supply minnows to all the bait shops around Grenada, don't know if he still does?

jeffery's on graysport has closed.

Is that the store on the highway where you turn to graysport?

Think your thinking of B's, if you mean coming off Hwy. 8

It's the store on the gums crossing going north from graysport.

OK thanks

I bought 1.5lb yesterday at Chevron. Number 4's and 6's mixed at best! I figure most bait shops are serviced by the same wholesaler. I prefer large to Xlarge minnows this time of year. We have a ton of minnow farms in Arkansas including the biggest that supplies most of that area. I have talked to several farms they have had trouble with grow out this year plus they said demand has been high. The few 8's which is a good medium to 12's which is large also called a bass minnow are all going to northern markets. Farms that you could buy quality minnows from in the past either do not have them to sell or they will not sell what they have because they are shipping them up north. I had one farm that said they would be able to sell some large in about 2 weeks, this was last Saturday. You have to purchase 5lb minimum prices range from $3.75 to $7.50 per lb for size 8 to 12 depending on size that you want.
