Where and how can a guy find Ghost Minnows? Many times I have seen the boat next to me pulling them in while we try, most of the time its due to these minnows... if you can't beat em join them?

cast net with 1/4 in mesh.

I'd catch lots of them with a 2-man seine, wading knee to waist deep. They keep pretty well, better than shad.

can I buy any? I would like to stay dry if possible.

why buy? when they are free

From experience, I can tell you that if your boys are old enough...let them help you sein them.

I have some memories of seining ghost minnows with my dad when I was younger. You catch all kinds of stuff too. They may enjoy it.

Oh...not sure you can buy them alive. Some places will sell them frozen.

Sandbass love um even frozen.

o.k. so where would you recomend I try seining, Main lake ,River, ? do I need to bait an area out first? If I have to get wet I will but lets try to raise the odds

any sandy bottom with some algae. they love algae

dip net with a long handle under lights

They like a hard or sandy bottom. We get them around the boat ramps at night. Use a lantern or a crappie light to concentrate them in knee deep water and then run a seine through the area. You can get a bunch quick that way and it doesn't take long.

i was told at fisherman sply on hubbard they would not let him sell them anymore they being tpwd

If there is a beach around thats where I would go. That is where I have always caught them!!

Im not sure how your lake is set up, but we used to throw net and sein the slack-water pools below the dam.
