Lakeville Gander Mtn no longer sells minnows

FYI, The Gander Mountain in Lakeville no longer sells minnows. They will only stock, crawlers, wax worms and leeches.

Unless they did things different then the one we have here, you aren't missing anything.

I can live with getting 12 minnows if you buy a doz. But when they put them in their hand and count them out and you end up with 10 :cookoo: I go elsewhere.

From what I was told it was a cost issue.  They were losing too much money and too many minnows were dying faster than they could be sold.

Maybe if Gander wasn't $10-$50 higher than other stores for everything that they stock, they would get more foot traffic, more sales, and not have to worry about the little bit of overhead associated with a minnow tank.  I swear Gander worries about the dumbest things when it comes to how they stock and provide service at their stores.

Not a surprise, Woodbury gander hasn't had minnows available for a couple years.  I'd much rather support the local bait shops anyways.  There is a gas station in Hudson WI that let's you scoop your own

There's a shell station not far away in Burnsville that sells minnows.  I've only been once but I believe they still have them. I've seen signs up in the summer near Gander Mtn., maybe they put them out of business :)

I wish Fleet Farm across the Hwy sold live bait, I spend more time there anyway than Gander.  All they typically have are grubs and nightcrawlers in a cooler.
