Still have minners?

Sorry Razorback. When I stepped out to go to work at 5AM, there was this skinny feller that looked homeless and like he was starving. So I gave him the minners before I left. Hope he fished with them and didn't eat-em.

They worked pretty good, caught a lot of bass, lot of small crappie, all the large (5) we brought home still had eggs.

What is your secret for keeping minners alive?

[Texas Grown]

Refrigeration. They can live for weeks without food if the water is at the right temp (40-55). But I throw them a couple pinches of crushed up bread crumbs about once a week. Not to much or they will bloat and die. If you keep them outside, or in outside warmer temps, they need to have the water changed about once a week. And a good aerator and filter system. New water will need chlorine neutralizer before they go in. It can be got at any pet shop including Smal-marts. I'm looking at 100 gallon tubs now, for a garage live well. Already have the pump and filter system. That size will keep a few doz perch alive. or several doz minners. I've had a few garage live wells before back when I ran trot-lines all the time. And raised aquarium fish when I was young.

I also got 3 legal perch traps I built for catching bait. TP&W has rules/restrictons they have to meet when you build them. Last used them a couple years ago when jugging with the grandboys.

The fish are bite-n and there's hogs to be killed, gotta go!

Pretty proud. I put David on his first striper this morning as we watched the sunrise over the water. He was pretty stoked about it.

Caught several under 18 inches then got into some sandies. No luck with the cats. Even saw some boaters checking multiple jug lines with no luck.

Water is down.

I know someone who caught 2 fish yesterday from a kayak.


Anybody else do any good?




And I got a 70 gallon tub for a bait tank. Just need to set it all up.
