Laural River lake need to buy minnows

[kstonich]

I'm taking the wife down to the lake on Sunday and would like to pick up some minnows . I'll be driving from Georgetown area. Is there a place I can buy minnows?

when you get to the first London exit, turn right and go about 4 miles and on the right you will see a store up on a hill, it's called Otto's general store, they have minnows, and crickets, good luck

Found shiners at Holley bay, fishing was tough but we did find fish no real pattern. Early in the day we picked up about a dozen small bass 10"-14" mostly on drop shot rigs. Pulled 4" shiners near the dam had 4 pull downs but no hook ups just tore up baits. I marked allot of suspended fish all over the lake.
At the end of the day end fished into a small cove and found a school of shad that the fish had pinned and wouldn't let go. We caught another dozen bass on the drop shot, and I picked up a nice trout around 20". This fish fought like a steel head. When hooked it came out of the water about 3 ft not exaggerating. Several more leaps as well. I caught it on a 5" shaddick ( my favorite bait unfortunately discontinued).
Laural is a very tough lake for me I don't know if I'll ever learn it well enough to constantly catch fish.
