Trying to fish Butla this weekend. Went to the Dam Store— Closed. Went to J&J One Stop in Hernando —Out of Minnows with the MCC in town. And these folks wonder why the fishermen don’t stop by more often. SMH

The Dam Store has been sold, the owner stopped restocking inventory over a month ago besides bait. I heard he closed the doors Wednesday. The new owners take over the 1st of October. There is Wallace Bait Shop on Hwy 35 and the new store just a piece east of there on 35 as well. The new store had one size fits all minners today, but were on the large size, decent count and $2.50 a dozen. I was met with the same ill fate at 7:30 this morning at JJ's, then went down to 51 Market and got the same news, they was bought out. I agree they should have prepared a bit better, but never know some of these guys bring their own bait. Nobody fishes Butla that much, so these shops order on Friday's in anticipation of the weekend. Not going to bad mouth none of them, I appreciate the years of service from the Dam Store, always done me fair. And am glad to see JJ's in Hernando, I'm still in the air on a good review of them, but I will give them another chance. Older gentleman apologized several times about turning me away, but it happens.
I know some folk's want' and believe in minnows, But Crappie will hit jigs just as well, some days better. Try jigs and have fun!
so where can we get minnows at in the morning????

J&J number 2 in hernando across from the old tadpoles store on Hwy 51 south of the square..then got J&J #1 on highway 301 at I-269, also 51 Market off wheeler road and 51 should have them. They were all waiting on the minner man today. Should be plenty to go around in the morning from what I was told. Who knows though, could fish them jigs [emoji23][emoji23]Quote:

Looks like someone that fishes these tournaments need to let store owners know a month or so in advance.
Well, I’m not fishing the tourney at Butla. I decided to go on to Truman and pre fish for the CM National Championship next Friday and Saturday.
I did wait for the minnow man to show up at J&J #2. He got there about noon and the only size minnows he brought for all of the above mentioned stores was a HUGE #12 minnow. Good luck with that size bait. They can outrun a Crappie and your pole tips will be moving all day from the bait. Grenada minnows are a #8. These are 50% bigger than that. Minnows are graded by the weight of 1000 minnows. The #8’s weigh 8 pounds per 1000. The 12’s weigh 12 pounds per 1000. SMH
