Thread: Natural vs Store Bought

Those things are hard to throw right. I have on on my boat for when I WAS going to go down to the coast this summer. Just didn't happen thanks to the oil though. I can never get it to open up more than about 1/2 or 2/3's of the way

To keep shad alive you really need a bait tank that supplies the tank with constant fresh water. They loose ALOT of scales and will eventually sufficate if you dont either filter the water or keep it replaced with fresh water. I fished with a guide once on Pickwick and he had a tank set up and they stayed alive all day. We caught a ton of Small Mouth on em.

I agree with Triton.....gee that scares me just thinking about it....but yeh....use store bought minnows.

I like natural myself, some of the store bought ones look too big. Oh, I'm sorry, this is about bait ain't it.

As many minnows that have been dumped in Barnett over the past 48 years, the ones you buy at the bait shop probably out number the regular shad.
