The article follows Don Whitr al, a twelve year dealer, in Nerth Bay as he describes profitable yet risky minnow trade. He notes daily clear profits around fifty dollars from a modest bait stand and seasonal turnover of about three thousand minnows daily, with customers paying fourteen cents per dozen.
