Default Parker minnows?

Has anybody seen Parker minnows for sale anywhere in Edmonton. Probably a long shot hoping for these.

Got some at the west end Fishin Hole on the 13th. They did have more but weren't sure when another shipment would arrive. I was going to buy a case. Wish I would have

Default Parker minnows

Have you guys seen any lakes around with a good population of spot tail shiners in it? We used to catch our own and freeze them when we were kids. One scoop with a minnow net in Moose lake back then, and you’d have enough bait for a year.

Fishing hole southside had Parkers for 2 days earlier in June lol.

2 days and they sold out!!! Between my buddy and I we walked out with 12 tubs.

They are so much better than the candle lake ones, they don't turn to mush and are all a consistent size.

With the candle lake tubs, usually 3 or 4 of the minnows are jumbo's (sometimes they are small perch or walleyes, not spot tails lol!!) and then the rest are a mixed bag of small to tiny shiners that are so soft once thawed its hard to keep on your hook.

If someone had a contact for buying shiners in bulk that would be wicked. I would definitely combine forces with a couple guys and buy them bulk especially for ice fishing season.
