Wow. Nobody.
How about any prices anywhere close.
Personally, I wouldn't think it would be worth the hassle. How much can you really save, $2?Quote:

We bought ours at J & L Market on Barren River Lake for $11.50 a pound.

Thanks. I can save $20 to $25 by bringing minnows from here.
Just curious, where do you get your minnows here?
Nothing will likely take effect this year but there is something in the works that you guys need to keep in mind and check for next year:
Quote:
The Kentucky Department of Fish
and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) is
gathering public input on a regulation to
restrict the movement of all live baitfish
from one body of water to another.
It's because of all the invasive species. Ohio wants fishermen to dump their extra minnies on the bank.Quote:

Ive got my minnows from Moores in the past but was thinking they was high. I can bring them from southern ohio fairly cheap.
I bought some down the road while I was home and I'm sure they were cheaper that Moore's. I gave like $5.20 for 3 doz. mediums.
What? you used minners?Quote:

I don't believe it is about minners according to their agenda. If i am reading it right, its about catching live bait from one lake and then going to a different lake. The update for bait fish is at the bottom of the document page.Quote:

I get mine at fast Eddies in Fairdealing.
I usually buy mine at Bass & Gas. The have ethanol free gas too.
I'm all about saving money these days.....but if you look at what you are spending as a whole for the trip why sweat over a few bucks on minnows???? why not help out the local bait shops??? I'm sure you can google bait shops in that area and find that prices vary everywhere....just my 2 bits.....wish you a great fishing trip!
BBD will give you all of the free gas that you can handle. :biggrinQuote:

Points well taken. I am planning on making several trips dwn in the next couple months.
I think your right with the hassle of transporting that many minnows and keeping them all alive it wont be worth it.
Thanks for all the info. I cant wait to get there and get on the water.
Good Luck to All
I think I paid $1.09/ dozen (Small) last Thursday at Bass n Gass...
She said she was going to try at get Matt to set a price per pound soon...
They also had Rosie Reds but I don't remember how much she said they were...(less than $2 dozen tho I'm sure)..

Last Fall,Moors was aboout$1.60 per doz for mediums.They were very generous when scooping out (not counting, probably got 3 doz for each paid doz) minnows were frisky and kept well!
Free gas? I think I will have to drive a couple more miles next time. 5 dozen minnows and 16 gallons of free premium would be worth the drive.
Thanks for the heads up Whiskers. :biggrin
