Gonna try to troll bluff lake or tenn Tom this weekend. Where in that area can I buy minnows?
Closest place is Mc'kees quick stop at Pheba. Go down 389 turn left on 50 and its on the left. They got small and big minner's, they even have bass minner's. They give a good count too. Other than them you will have to drive to the other side of Columbus good luck sir
What area do you live? Their may be something closer
I live right in the middle of starkville
then Pheba is prolly the closest unless Feesh know of somewhere closer I don't and I live 20 minutes from StarkvilleQuote:

OK, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BIG MINNOW AND A BASS MINNOW ? WE JUST HAVE TO TAKE WHAT THEY HAVE MOST OF THE TIME ,"IF" THEY HAVE ANY .:dono :biggrinQuote:

As far as I know you can. Crappie bite there is tough, especially this time of year. It does hold some monsters though.
its just what Mckees call a large minner and they are hugeQuote:

You can catch some on the river rite now fishing 10-12' deep on old blow downs next to deeper ledges. Be prepared to catch lots of little ones
Thanks for info. I'm kind of a newbie as far as fishing rivers. About the only places I've fished are the corps lakes
There are some places where you can catch them shallow during hot weather but you gonna have to put some time in to find them. They are usually pretty good quality for the river. If you've been fishing the corp lakes the river fish are gonna be a lot smaller than what you are used to catching. Check out the last few tourney results and you will understand. When I fish Nader for a couple months and then go back to the Ten-Tom, I have to change my attitude about what a good fish looks like. If you can catch a limit of 3/4-1 1/2 lb fish you have had an excellent day.
Just my 2 cents, but i's opt for the Tenn Tom over Bluff. Feeshrman was right about Bluff being tough. I've still been catching them on the river 3-6 feet deep near deeper water. Fish early and find shady spots when the sun comes up.
There's actually a little bait shop about halfway to Brooksville from the Refuge if you do decide to fish there. The bait shop is just across the road from Land o Lakes, if you have any idea where that is. The phone number for the guy who runs it is 6625746927, I'd call and make sure that they were open before heading that way. I'd guess it's about 7 or 8 miles from the Refuge.
