I bought some supplies and a bait cooler. They were very pleasant and helpful. The young man working the minnows offered to put it together for me and loaded it up with minnows. Now I didn't count each one as I just trusted that there was plenty in there. If I have to worry about whether there is 45 or 55 when I buy 4 dozen, its probably time to find a new hobby because I can't afford this one. It by far is the cheapest part of the trip for me. Everharts gave me very good service. To actually say they "suck" because you don't think you got more than what you ask for, I just don't see it. They went out of their way to give me great service and minnows that were very large and in fact lasted for three days.

I just wondered if you go to the store and buy a dozen eggs, do you say the store sucked because you didn't get 15 or 16? When you go to the bakery to get a dozen doughnuts do you bitch because you didn't get two? You get what you pay for. If you want 2 doz. buy 2 doz. They stock minnows as a added service to their customer. Just saying.....
Settle down there boy. Nobody said anything about Everhart's being a bad store. All I said was that they don't give a good minner count. Seems you don't buy minners often enough so you wouldn't understand the term "minner count" in the fishing world.
