Thread: Do you know where to get minnows?

I can only think of two places that sell minnows in the Charleston area anymore but sometimes they are just the opposite way I am going, or not open yet or whatever. More options would be nice, especially if they are near to where I am going particularly anything near Kenna, Ripley, Sutton, Weston, Ansted, Hamlin, Beckly, Lewisburg....

The two I know of are: Spring Hill Rod and Gun in South Charleston -or- some little tackle shop on Rt. 114 just south of Elkview (just north of Capitol High)

So, Anyone?

DUDE!! Is this the Amish shop that used to be a couple miles up the road by the interstate (end of Kanawha city)? I was so angry when that place closed! Smoked Horseradish Cheddar, on the cheap here I come!....they sell minnows??


I'm confused about the Lewisburg part, Why would Lewisburg cater to fisherman going to a lake over an hour away when the G'brier is right there and even Bluestone or the New is closer than S'ville....or is "Lewisburg" a name of a store in Summersville??

Speaking of Lewisburg, ever make it to Lake Sherwood? I've heard its really nice for Crappie/Gills.


It seems like it used to be so much easier to find live bait......Thanks!!
