Let me tell you how crazy some of these places are. We used to buy minnows at Gander Mountain and always got a real good count. Buy 10 dozen and they give you 15 dozen, $1.50 a lb. Then they thought they was losing to much money so they went up to $3.00 a lb. Now minnows just set there and they gotta feed em. As a tackle store I wouldnt recommend Gander Mountain for anything.
Eno...do you mean per dozen instead of pound? And I agree with you about Gander Mountain, but what some people don't realize, if you bring a sales paper from Bass Pro Shops, or a computer printout, Gander will honor that price.
If you are heading North on 49 in MP take a left at the Hardees. Go up about 1/2 mile and it is on the right. An older fellow runs it out of his home. I forget his name and the road name. Been away for 10 years and memory is the first to go.
And they also give a 10% military discount---thats the only reason I shop there. So does BPS but they are too far away.Quote:

Here are a few for Falls Lake

(These minnows seem to always be pretty healthy and last a while)
Sandy Plains Mini Mart

Carolina Outdoor Sportsman

Bayleaf Bait and Tackle
11608 Six Forks Rd Raleigh, NC 27614
(919) 847-4639
(Is hit or miss on if this place is open. Has been owned by a few different owners over the past 7 or so years because it keeps going out of business. Wish there minnows didn't die so fast so that I could give them more business, but I don't go there much because the minnows never seem to live that long.)
When I go to Jordan Lake I like to use the Wilsonville Exxon. It's on the right just after you cross the lake on 64. I like their tackle selection and what I really like is they have a driveway behind the store to get out so you don't have to fight 64 traffic.
Hey Roach the bait shop off of 49 in MP was Haiglers, The old man pass away a few years back and the shop closed down.
hey thanks guys, we hit daddy rabbits and man what a count. instead of 12 dozen we got twelve scoops. this is already helping me. i might put a poster in the window that says"recomended by crappie.com members.:D:D:D
