Thread: Minners

Best minnows out there by far and fine folks to do business with. Their minnows are graded correct, if you buy mediums you get mediums! If you buy 12's or bass minnows you get 12's not 6's and 8's with a few 12's mixed it. If you want a mix they will weigh up minnows out of different tanks but the tanks are graded correct. Ms. Margie is a sweet heart to do business with! I'm lucky to live about 45 minutes from them.

You can buy 5lbs of 12's (mediums are cheaper) for what you pay for 1.5lb of mixed 4 to number 6 minnows that are supposed to be 8's or mediums at bait shops in AR and MS. I can't speak for the new bait shop at Grenada, I plan to give them a try soon, just hard to pass up going to Sauls after some crappie.com members told me about them. I tried several other minnow farms in my area. Good prices but still got poorly graded and sized minnows.

I was buying minnows from Sauls on Thursdays or Fridays during July and August, keeping them in a tank at our place at Enid with aeration equipment that I bought from Sauls. I would lose from 1 to 2 dozen from weekend to weekend. I would change water as soon as I got there before I put new minnows in the tank that I had just brought over.

I have not bought minnows there in about 3 weeks. I will be firing up the tank again in a couple of weeks if weather holds and harvest winds down.

If I ran a bait shop my minnows would come from Sauls if I had to pick them up myself.
