Well I will comment since dicks has been mentioned. When I buy minnows that is where I get them as I live there. When camping at Mozingo I would buy minnows at big birds befor he sold out and then from the very nice lady that bought the store from him. They both counted out 12 minnows. Fair enough but they didn't stay in business at that store very long. Don't know if that was a problem for them or not, but every one you talked to complained. Sometimes they were so small I would use two at a time
