is there any where in mesa i can buy minnows besides liars corner?
If you arein far west Mesa, Props Plus on McDowell may not be too far
yea, I know, I never would have guessed a Prop store for minnows :laugh:
This is the minnows thread:
http://forum.azcrappie.com/index.php/topic,135.msg11486.html#msg11486
D&R Baits at US60 and Greenfield is another option. Just a guy out of his house running it. I've had some issues but others have had no problem.
do the props plus have decent minnows? and do they have them most of the time?
The last 2 times I got minnows at Props Plus (within the last year) they were terrible.
I realize this may be close to Blasphemy on this forum and I do not intend to hi-jack the thread, but, while we are talking about getting bait,,,,,, where can a guy find water dogs in the phoenix area?
Props Plus had some 2-3 inchers that were trying to die in the tank. other than that, I have not been able to find any.
appreciate your help

You should call them up first. I doubt they get much turnaround so call just to make sure they have the amount you need. The times I've got them there they had bumps on them but all survived fine. Piscolli had different story (see above) with his use of them.
did the bumps on them effect the pace of catching fish?
I don't know. It was Bartlett lake and I went from catching 1 or 2 to catching 1 or 2. Not sure that matters. Could say fish wouldn't want to eat a sickly minnow, but then could argue fish would go for the straggler, injured minnow as it's easy prey. I'd use them if I was to go to Bartlett before the marina store there opened otherwise you could try D&R baits and good luck on that one.
why do you say that?
See my comments in:

But don't just take my word. Several others on this site have had absolutely no issues. I might try him again because of convenience and limited options makes it work the chance. Good luck.
I got some from there for the last couple weeks and they have been fine
I've never had a problem with DR baits the couple of times I got minnows there. His price is hard to beat per dozen. I live about 5 miles from Liars Korner, and have been going there for years as well. They always have good minnows, and I try to go there as much as I can to keep a small bait and tackle place like that going. They also sell crawlers and water dogs there.
Last time I went to Props plus they gave me what looked like gold fish! They were huge and orange. Needless to say I didn't catch a crappie with them. I always get them at the lake.
