Ordering Minnows

[icerod]

Hey guys/gals, I recently acquired a minnow system ( bulk tank made into a minnow tank).  I have looked on the internet to find places to order minnows but I am having no luck.  I live in southern Iowa. Do ya know where I can order minnows?   Will it cost much?  I plan on trapping river minnows in the spring but for now i would like to have crappie minnows and fat heads. I would greatly appreciate any info on this.  Thanks

No concerns of VHS? In Michigan we have to keep receipts for all of are bait purchases and then have to through them out after so many days.

I ordered some spikes today online 500 for $7, I'll split them with some friends.

Wow eriksat1 that is a great price!  Where do go to order ural larvae or spikes?  With that many do you have problems with the spikes cocooning up?  Even when I put them in the fridge, they still cocoon up.

I've got 2000 spikes in the fridge with no problems so far. I know guys that keep 20,000 a year in their fridges.

I keep mine right at 33deg.

This is the first time I have bought them like this, but they say just keep them cool in the fridge and no problems. I'm tired of paying $3 for 2 dozen waxies at the bait shop. Spikes work just as good.
