I think they sell by the 100 around here...what's the goin price?

Here it's by the scoop, somewhere around 3 bucks a scoop.

Instead of messing with the scoops I just buy a whole pound of them.$16 for a pound.

Scoops, I'm wondering whos counting out a hundred?

Well seeing that the only water one could trap bait within 30+ miles of Fargo (red river has zebra mussels) and the fact that no one can transport bait in from Minnesota I can understand it.. I wonder if brothers 3 in Valley city has minnows?

When you're visiting your lady friend this spring head over to the Arkansas river and catch a bunch of skipjack, if you do any catfishing Gary.

3.00-4.00 a scoop of crappie minnows. 4.00-5.00 a scoop of fatheads 8-14 bucks for a dozen shiners

2.50-3 bucks a scoop

Dang, we have to buy them by the dozen. I'll bet no less than $5 a dozen for medium's.

When the pond minnows are sold(by the gallon), they come to $52.00 a gallon. Or 1/2 gallon for $28.00.

A gallon is about 1800-2000 minnows. Good for seeding your pond for live feed.

Around $15 a pound in arkansas for crappie minnows

What are you buying, we’re talking fatheads (perch, walleye and crappie minnows.) I think so anyway.

When I was a kid, working at Pats Bait and Tackle. It was me counting them in the early 90’s.


I don’t remember how much they were then, but they are around $2-3/dozen now. I just use minnow traps now when I need some. So not sure.

There has been a major population change in the Red River minnow species in the last 3 years = almost no emeral shiners or spot tails harvested creating a frozen minnow blip
over harvest in the spillway at Fairford River has crashed that population
Zebra mussel and spineywater flea have created some real problems

Thought we were TRAPPERS on here, trap & net your minnows

Yup! But, not everyone has access or resources to do so.

Maybe the Zebras will take the stain out of the red and we will need to rename it..

No place sells them here that I can find! Got to catch my own.

Sounds like a business opportunity.

Mediam dace are 7.50 a dozen here. And the new ontario bait fish zones are stupid to say the least. Now they are talking about not allowing any live bait for trout including leaches or dead frozen. Go figure.
