Minnows: Size Preference and where you buying them at, and how you hooking them?
I fish with minners about 75% of the time in the spring. Just curious where the others are buying, what size you prefer and how are you hooking them. I will list my preferences below.
Arkabutla: Where I'm buying Tadpoles, size mediums (with occasional larges)
Sardis Upper End: Sports Corral, medium
Sardis Lower End: Tadpoles
Enid: Tadpoles
Grenada: B's Grocery or Lakeway (Grenada has the perfect size medium minners)
I know you see a lot of Tadpoles on my list, I'm aware of the other bait shops around Butla, Sardis and Enid. I'm not running a Intensive Care Unit for minners nonono. The way I see it, when I buy them they are working for me, not the other way around. Can't spend all my time pumping them full of air and feeding them ice water all day, no sir.
I prefer to hook them thru the lips or behind the dorsal fin when using a bobber. When trolling I prefer to go thru the lips or occasionally thru the eyes. Also, anyone here fish the Big 4 with rosy reds and if so do crappie eat them up?
2nd time I had to type this, when I hit submit last time it said to please login and I lost it (weather probably), I copied this time so hope it works.
