Live minnows at Marty's

Stopped in at Marty's today for the last day of the 20% off sale.Got some new parachutes - these have paint on the heads .

Heard a pump running and asked Jim what was in the tank.He has live minnows :yes: - which are a great wintertime bait.Yellow Perch,Crappie,Pickerel,Bass and Catfish will all eat a live minnow.

Once the ice breaks up - live minnows are often the best bait to try.Warren's baitshop where I buy minnows is closed for winter.Good to have another supply close by.

Minnows will stay alive for a few weeks in an old cooler with a bubbler.Makes it easy to do a quick 2-3 hour trip on a nice day.
