Jeeeezus!!!!!

 

I went to buy 5 inch minnows today... Buddy had like 100 from 4-6 inch... I said I'll take em all... Then I said how much.... He says $3 per minnow!!!!!!!!

 

So $36 a dozen for 5 inch minnows.... What the heck...

 

And people wonder why others poach bait...

 

I'd be willing to pay as much as $1 a minnow.... It's not like they are 12 inch suckers.... 5 inch shinners....

 

I'm blown away...

My brother used 2 dozen yesterday.... Luckily he picked em up in calabogy... Or else it would have been $72 for 2 dozen minnows.... That's a pricy day of walleye fishing....

 

But if I go sene my own minnows its illegal....

 

Those prices should be illegal...

It's perfectly legal to trap your own minnows as long as you're not selling them. You must also have no more than 120 in your possession including any purchased ones.

I'm a fan of plastics but I don't think they would perform nearly as well as the real thing for this application...

At that price for minnow's I'd do a comparison. I love the 5" Gulp Alive but I've never done a live vs. plastic showdown.

You asked why it was illegal to sene....

 

Use a dip net in daylight hours or a trap anytime of the day or night. I'm just trying to help you hang onto your house. :)

3 Bucks per minnow!!!!

 

I can get Prime Rib on sale for $2.99 a pound

 

betcha those minnows aint a pound and prime rib tastes better than shiners

 

catch 3 or 4 12 inch gators on those shiners---and that's gonna hurt

 

Time to invest in catchin your own bait and tell buddy to blend those babies up into a shiner smoothie

All I can say is WOW!!! :o It's $4.50 a dozen for 3" minnows out here and I think that's outrageous so I trap most of my own. Can't imagine paying $3 a minnow no matter how big they are.
