Baitshops are like any other business, it supply and demand. I've had to pay as much as $22.00 per lb at a remote place on the Ten-Tom. 'Course that didn't happen but once. You know the motto "screw me once...shame on you, screw me twice....shame on me." I stopped at Lakeway and bought minnows last Sunday but I Will definitely try the new place this weekend. Most bait shops know and understand minners are just a draw. You make your money on the other stuff.

How much are they at Collins bait shop?
Figured you could tell us since this thread has leaned more towards the bashing of one shop in particular. I remember 3 shops from my youth (30 plus years ago) in Grenada.. Collins, Lakeway and the Greendoor. Two of these remain to this day the other is a restaurant now. Funny how we throw out the old in favor of the new so quickly now days. If minners cost more than usual then I'm sure there's a reason for it. I ain't bought a minner in over 4 months myself. Everyone has choices on where to buy, seems like there will be another one to choose from now.

I understand a good count/amount for our money, and agree it's all the other stuff that the shops make their money.
Here we are fussing over prices of live bait, but majority don't blink an eye at dropping $4 to $5 on a single crankbait, and buy multiples at a time.
Food for thought......

Collins is more of a beer joint/hangout than a bait shop. It is NOT a viable source for bait. 700-1100 is his opening hours. I don't think he's been open a single trip to the lake this year for me. And that's s good many trips... not a sole around the mornings of crappie master tournament this spring. Lol

That's not a fair comparison, I've lost 2 cranks all summer and I ain't got a dang minner left in my tackel box and bet I have spent $1000 bucks on minners this year!!!!!!!:bangheadQuote:
