All the other minnows died within a couple hours, was not happy about that.

The trick at Outfitters is to ask for 4 dozen when they are busy and they will hook you up.

I bet they get bait from the same supplier as Lakeway. If not, they should. We get minnows in AR for 4-6 bucks a pound.

If I were in the minnow supply business, I'd be trying to keep the customers I had. Most suppliers are about the same price, or they lose customers. There isn't that many bait shops out there comparatively speaking anyway. Any supplier would be glad to gain the new business. That's what's nice about free enterprise. Competition keeps you honest, or you go broke.

I have never had a complaint about the cost of minnows or for that matter anything else at the DAM store.....If you will count them you will find you have twice as many as you ordered and therefore its still a bargain. I do understand that they had a power failure during one of the storms and lost power and that affected a bunch of minnows.....but I am sure if you got some bad ones that a talk with the owners and they would try to make it right.

on the subject of minners, how many minners, lets say medium in size, are there in a pound....

Question is..what is a medium minnow? Lakeway medium is a large most places and jumbo others.
