    Default Mail Order Minnows

    In the next few weeks I'm going to attempt to order some live minnows through the mail. I'm sure I'll have to order as a minimum more than I need or can use. I'd like to coordinate with another angler or two to share some of the costs. I live in the LA area and would like to meet the day they come in(the day before fishing) and divvy them up. If anyone is interested let me know.

    Where do you order from?
    Is it costly to order them?

    I haven't order any yet, but I googled my butt off and identified a couple of possibilities. I think a lot of the costs will be the overnight shipping? I'm waiting for my boat to get out of the shop and I'll start to really look into it. I'll update the post when I know more.

    What the heck are you going to do with them?????

    "Illegal" to use as bait in freshwater. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Not cost effective as Saltwater bait !!!
    Bait Barge is much cheaper, with local bait fish.....

    Maybe you should rethink this?????

    What is "illegal"? Wouldn't this be a location specific situation. Someone call the bait shops at Lake Isabella and tell them they are all selling illegal bait...by the dozen.

    I'm all confused!?!

    Illegal really? I've bought fathead minnows by the dozen in California bait stores. Does the bait barge sell minnows? Where is that? I'm just trying to get some minnows without having to drive two hours one way to get them. Shipping costs would be cheaper than gas and my time.
