Heading up to Canada shortly and want to take up some salted minnows. Where can I get some in southern MN? Thanks.

Go to any supermarket. They keep them right next to the salted peanuts. They do taste a little fishy though.

I make my own salted minnows. Find a bait shop that sells fatheads
by the gallon. Then, put 1/3 cup of salt and 1/3 cups of sugar in a one quart zip lock freezer bag. Shake the bag to mix the salt and sugar. Then, add 1 1/2 to 2 cups of minnows to each quart zip lock bag. Shake the bag to get the salt and sugar to coat the minnows.
Flatten the bags and put all the bags in the freezer in large zip lock.

Then, each day of fishing, take 1-2 bags with you in a cooler for the day's fishing. I have been using this for several years and they work great.
