It's a vending machine kind of like the ones for pop. The minnows are in small styrofoam containers and it is located next to the front door of the marina.
So many fish, so little time.

It only takes 5 dollar bills, and supposedly takes credit cards although it wont take mine or any of the guys that I've seen try it!  5$/dozen, mixed bag as far as size goes, but typically lots of smaller ones.

I recall when we fished DL not that long ago (well 15 years now  ;D) it was a dollar a scoop, and scoop was more than you could use in a day.

Did alright on crappie and perch early morning then it shutdown. Did catch a few hammer handle pike on tip ups would liked have some bigger minnows for pike. All in all it was a pretty decent day.
