I can't afford to use shiners being on disability they are just too expensive. I raise my own worms for my cat fishing . Not many ponds left here in South Alabama any more, most of the folks I knew that had ponds have gone on to be with the Lord. What your doing is a great idea.

Very nice looking minnows too. Those slab crappies gonna love them. 👀👍

That looked great brother ! Thanks to you and jimbo! Hopefully they will do good in there.

I usually just fish crappie through the ice, i don't open water target em anymore. I stick to nightcrawlers, my yard is full of em and I can pick 20+ dozen in an hour or so. I mainly target perch, bluegill, walleye, catfish and trout in SW Wisconsin. Great looking pond and awesome way to save on bait👍

Good video

Yeah, I would relocate those Bluegill to a cleaning board, then to the kitchen. That is the best location I can think of. By the way, I have tied up a few of the "Perfect Crappie Minnow Jigs" and tweaked them just a tiny bit for my area. Thank you for that video, I have it saved should I need it in the future. Really enjoy your channel, thanks for going to the time and trouble to do it.

Good Idea if you have a pond them shiners do get expensive those crappie don’t always bite those jigs especially those slabs🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

Feed them dog food 🎣🫶🏻 I raise minnows in a deep freeze ❤

I get fishing crappie with minnows. I used to but now all I need is a 2” sparkling chartreuse green Mr. Twister Tail on a 1/32 oz. yellow jig head on 4 lb. line. Works every time. but then again that makes it harder to drink your beer.

I got my bait dealers license in tn it was like 30 bucks and the minnow tuck brings them to me for 12 bucks a pound. I got some in my pond from 3yrs ago that are 10 to 12 inches long

Nice setup. I hope it goes well for ypu

I done got a hankering for some sardines now!

I tried this a few years ago and it was so discouraging. I put so much time & energy into a 50 gallon drum set up with a recirculator & sprayer.....dechlorinator.....and every single minnow was dead the next morning lol

i put tuffy minnows in my pond they raise good you don't have to feed them if you keep the blue herrons out you will have more minnow than you can use

Its been like 5 years since i bought minnows

Ma boy dug a small pond for his gold fish but he didnt want to use it anymore bcause hes lazy to keep it clean so i used it for minnows so now i dont have to run to the bait shop anymore.

Man I hope you can keep the birds out, they will have a field day if they find them minners

How do you plan to harvest them, for use?

Carl where in South Al do you live. I live in I guess South east Al.

I bet the birds love to see you pull up 😅

What are your prices to go crappie fishing? Do you have a list of prices?

It would be interesting to know if this helped reduce the mosquito population as well…..

I sent you an email about the guided trips.

not worried about birds wiping you out?

Where is your aeration

When Jesus seen them down by the sea fishing I bet he didn't "ask for a fishing license", like others force us to get today .

California minors $6.99 per dozen

Those aren't crappie minnows those are shiners!!
