Getting lively bait from a bait shop.....? #8367575 03/18/25 08:16 PM 03/18/25 08:16 PM

It's nice of the guy to offer the service but the minnows I get are very stressed and don't last long. Now I order 1500 minnows from Anderson Bait Farm in Loanoke Arkansas and they arrive by UPS packed in a couple gallon of water and very healthy lively fish. They must be polysaturated with oxygen as they're in that little sack of water for a couple days at least. They're good bait and live a long time. I need to find a perfect pond and stock nothing but minnows in it. Life ain't supposed to be easy.
