He Sells Minows (they Are Lively!!!!!), Shinners And Goldfish By The Pound. Give Him A Call For Your Bait Needs. I Bought Several Pounds And They Have Kept Very Well In My Tanks..alot Cheaper Than Buying By The Dozen... We All Need To Save $$$$$$$ When We Can..

I rode over and bought some a week ago. Nice dude...says call and he'll try and meet you there anytime. Small minnows $12 per lb. Didnt ask about mediums. Goldfish $10 a lb.

Thanks for the info

Are ya'll using goldfish for crappie? Thanks for the info about the bait sales, I'll be giving him a call.

Thanks, been lookin for a place that sells minnows by the pound.

Sorry for being offtopic guys but for you that keep minnows, what do you feed them?

Cleon, I dont feed 'em. I just try to use 'em up before they start dying. From all the info I have gathered about keeping minnows, if you feed 'em they poop more in the water raising the amonia levels causing you to have to change the water more regularly (or loosing more minnows).

i can keep them for months without feeding them anything. i have a 75 gallon tank with a filter and air stone and they stay lively...a always use well water and put bait saver in the tank when i start it up. make sure to keep it cool or in a cool place. i freeze well water in gallon jugs and add sometimes in the heat of the summer.

I am gonna have to relocate for you guys have everything down there finding bait in my area is a living nightmare unless of course you are looking for worms.

Dale's Superet on HW74 right across lake Wylie on the Gaston co side sells minnows by the pound. I think a pound sells for $18.00 and that's a lot of minnows. They sell a #4 and a #6. A#4 is about 1to 1-1/2"long and the #6 are about 2-1/2 to 3" long. I've been buying 1/4lb of each for $10.17 every Friday for Saturday trips.

I save my leftovers in a 125gal garden pond and I have a 120v aerator with 2 stones bubbling. Feed them flake goldfish food about once a week, just to give them some strength.
