Thread: To minner or not to minner......

I'm of the opinion that if I spend $800 for my semi annual trips to Grenada that I want the best chance to load the boat. Big deal if I can catch 15 in a day on jigs when minners would give me 40. I'll spend what's needed for minners

I'M OF THE OPINION THAT IF I PAY FOR TWELVE, THEN I EXPECT TWLEVE . I SUPPORT BUISSNESSES THAT EARN YOUR BUISSNESS NOT MERELY ASK FOR IT . MONEY FOR MINNOWS IS NOT THE ISSUE . THE TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT ATTITUDE WILL SEND MANY COUNTRY BOYS ELSEWHERE . THE LOCALS ARE HIS BUISSNESS,NOT THE ONCE IN A WHILE FOLKS .

I got yall covered, come on we'll have plenty of bait....

I'll pay what is needed. I WANT what will work the best. I pay for 12, why should I expect more. Up here there $2.75 a dozen, and you NEVER get more than 13. Stop cryin.

I am not crying, just doing some math. I fish Grenada pretty much every weekend. Grew up believing that a stop at the bait shop was a required step in the process. It is not the fact that I am getting what I paid for. I have no problem with that. I am just questioning whether I need to pay for it at all. $25 a month will buy a lot of jigs, AND jigs don't die every time you fish with em.

Like I said in OP. I have seen a lot of people catch limits on Grenada with jigs. Daddy always told me that they were just getting lucky (even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while) but some of these guys are getting lucky everyweekend, and doing it without worrying about minners. I am just wondering if I can start getting lucky like that........

I catch them with jigs and crappie nibbles and I catch them with jigs or gnats with minnows on them......just always seem to do a little better with the minnows.

If I weren't guiding or fishing a tournament, I would probably just use jigs. I really don't care if I catch a bunch or not. Like you though, I grew up fishing minnows. Old habits, especially productive ones, are hard to break.
