[QUOTE="Allen, post: 112177, member: 389"] I could be wrong, but I don't know of any bait vendors in Bismarck that capture their own minnows. Or crawlers either. They are all bought wholesale and resold. I am guessing there are not more than 3 vendors that service the whole of the Bismarck/Mandan area for both crawlers and minnows. So the luck of the draw is kind of there for all of us when it comes to bait. Landers may get a large shipment of good sized minnows that last for two weeks and will get to be known as the place to find large bait. Right up until they run out and have to restock. Sure, there's something to be said about freshness of the bait when it comes to the satisfactory vigor we seek in our offerings that can be altered by poor temps in the cooler and water. But for the most part, it is what it is. A couple days ago I stopped in both Sterling and Steele looking for crawlers. SOL is what happened to us, we ended up finishing off the crawlers I had from the previous trip and using Gulp killer crawler after that. BTW, I am a BIG fan of that stuff. Works just as well as live crawlers for me! Just way more expensive.
