Default Minnows

This may be the dumbest question of all, but where can I find minnows right now? Everywhere I've been has nothing but larger ones (5+ inches). I'm looking to try my luck at some perch, but I think that may be too big.

Tried Canadian Tires, will have to go to the Fishin' Hole. Even Wholesale was out last time I went. I'd try the gas stations on the way but I hate leaving it until then coz I always get bitten in the ass and never get what I need anyway.

All the perch I catch are on minnow (white tub with red writing on the lid) I find them at mohawk with a jighead. The perch would slowly nibble them down to the hook so I would use a stinger or just a peice of minnow.

The Minnows that you are looking for Perch are called Micro Minnows. I was at the Hole today and they had a good supply of them. These Minnows are in the 2-3" range.
