Tuna_xx Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Hey if anyone knows of any bait shops in or around Leesburg Virginia that you can buy live shiners or minnows it would be great! Quote
Super User bigbill Posted August 4, 2015 Super User Posted August 4, 2015 Live bait? I started out using live bait. At the cost of $50+ a week. We fished just about every night at the time. One night I had a strike while reeling in a nightcrawler. The bass told me they wanted something moving. We put on mepps #3 Anglia spinners. I started using two rod setups one live bait and one lure. Soon the lure rod started to out fish the live bait rod. I put the $50 I saved by not using live bait into buying lures. I find it a challenge as to what lure is hot today. It's fun. Quote
Phu Man Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 The closest one I know of is in Winchester. Jake'S bait and tackle. The only other one I know of is the bait shop on Lake Frederick south of Winchester. Quote
Tuna_xx Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks guys! And I'm not using them for bass, I'm using them for crappie:) Quote
Tuna_xx Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 Oh and I figured out that if you go to petsmart you can get Rosie's fairly cheap. They are a strain of the fathead minnow which is legal to use! Quote
