Great bait shop. Johnny knows what hes talking about. Sometime the shop is closed, no worries! Call ahead and check in with him.

Always a pleasure stopping in and talking with Johnny! And he is able to get the fishing gear I use or need that other shops don’t carry!

Its a great little bait & tackle shop, if you can actually get through the door. Ive shown up on their regular business hours three times and theyve been closed. I guess you should call ahead to make sure that theyre actually open before you make the trip there.

Might as well remove this business off Google. Only bait shop on the south side and its only open every now and then if youre lucky. Ive wasted a drive here over 10 times in the past few months now Ill never go back just take the extra time and drive to one thats actually open during the time they say they are.

I drove 25min because it’s says open until 7pm on google and at 5:45pm doors were locked.

Drove 25 miles to shop local. 12:45 Sunday. Doors were locked.

Best place to be to get your Bait and Tackle.

No live bait and tackle vending machine outside at all

Johnny is a super sweet and friendly guy. He has pretty much whatever you would need to go fishing. Not to mention he has quite a bit of knowledge on fishing as well. The only thing that I can imagine this young man needs to do, is get a better distributor for his minnows. He has great prices but I cant seem to get to the lake in time before alot die. Although Im no pro so it may be on my end. Lol. But I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Pricing fairly! This guy knowledgeable about fishing ....

Came during business hours and theyre closed. Waste of time.

Best bait and tackle shop around. Has everything you will need if not he will get it! Always fresh bait in stock and prices cant be beat.

A good place for all your fishing needs support your local family owned businesss 5 star

A bait shop in the middle of the city with the small town hospitality and top of the line products, with the best prices around. If they dont have what you are wanting, chances are they can get it for you.

Friendly Service great prices. Will continue to only shop here for my live bate.

1st time I went here I asked him if he had some skip Jack He told me he did add a really reasonable price Not a lot of people know what skip Jack is He has really great reasonable prices and it seems he is trying to help the fishermen Instead of breaking their pocket

Great prices and friendly service. Johnny will get you all set up!

Nice bait shop. Very nice people.

Not open at 3:30.... Why...does not say not cool man

Good variety with great prices. Everything you need from a bait & tackle shop.

Best place in town to get bait. And where the fish are biting

Great service and got some amazing help

I went during business hours as posted but they were closed. The parking lot has many pot holes as well and not the easiest place to exit from.

The guy there was extremely helpful and friendly
