Deering Barker bait system ships Missouri minnows to Florida lakes
The Deering-Barker plan moves 42 hour tank truck shipments from Missouri to Lake County for use as bait. The first batch released into Florida ponds shows readiness, with full tanks of 35 000 minnows to supply bait to individuals after sundown. The Missouri minnows, touted as the surest bait for speckled perch, attract tourists and provide sport with the thrill of the fight against bass in Florida lake waters.
