Craig,

Just wanted to say a BIG thanks, to you and your staff for taking care of my needs this year. Not to many Bait shops that are open 7 days a week and that are open at 5:00 am.

Most important, I know that you give back to the Community, teaching kids to fish. Casting for a cure, even dressing up on your day off to be Santa for the kids in the Community.

It takes a special person to push aside his own wants to make other people happy. My hats off to you Sir!

Most important, thanks for putting up with me, always wanting new lures and equipment, so that I have the latest and greatest.

Just thought that I would give credited were credited was due!!!

BROTHER HOOD 2014!!!

+1 RD. love that store. Always have what I need, especially the caffeine to keep me going for the day.

Posted

+1 from this guy, too! I think we all know the tremendous job Craig does keeping things in stock, making sure we know where the fish are biting(he's the only one in the area with a board!), and providing the most friendly service!

It just can't be said enough, thanks Craig! You can expect to get some more of my hard-earned $$$ for as long as you are there!

I've only been in their once just recently but was impressed, when I'm in the area that's where I will get my gear and bait from now on. I don't know Craig but it sounds like he's a great guy.

Posted

havent been there, where is it?

Posted

It's the gas station right on hwy 99 in shieldsville. Can't miss it.

Posted

Do they still so the coffee card? Gotta love a free one once in a while

Posted

Yea. That and a minnow card too

Posted

Highway 21 in Shieldsville. I also agree that Craigs store is a great place to stop. Super nice guy and friendly staff as well!!!

Posted

YEP! Just stopped in this place for the first time this past weekend. Craig was a stand up guy and this is how everyone should run a buisiness.

Posted

Wow! I don't know what to say. It's not easy to do, but you guys just put tears in my eyes.

Posted

Craig is great. Anything I need summer or winter just ask Craig and he will deliver. I have baught 2 new Vexilar's and the 10" pro 4 and now the New Ion from him. I would not go anywhere else to get my gear. To get me my Ion He had it shipped from across state and had to get it from another retailer, but he did it just to get it into my hands. I also live just around the corner so I buy everything I can there.

Posted

Yeah I live just outside of Shieldsville, I love it. I have made an effort to get all of my gas there, and I already get all of my bait there. They really have a ton of stuff for such a small store, I feel really lucky they are in the area!

The only issue I have is they carry those delicious Heggies pizzas, they are too irresistible but hard on the pocket book!

Posted

Wow! I don't know what to say. It's not easy to do, but you guys just put tears in my eyes.

We just want you to be noticed. You deserve to be recognized for your hard work and dedication in the heart of southern Minnesota region. You're a rare gem in which everyone looks for. Keep it up, Craig!

Thanks for having everything I needed to take my daughter ice fishing for the first time full-44606-41909-resizedimage_1390154118

Gunner my heart is melting. This is why we do the things we do. Thanks for sharing.

Posted

Cute picture gunner! Trying to convince my sister in law to let me take my neices ice fishing lol... I can't even convince her to get on the ice. Summer time I took my oldest out twice in the boat. Of course those "hotspots" were non exsistant going with new people :-). I just stopped at the bait shop for my minnows this afternoon!

Posted

+1 on the minnow card. That is just SWEET!

Posted

Yea it is nice to have. Especially when you don't remember how many punches you had and then to pay and hand your minnowncard. Ooooh piece of candy! :-)

Posted

Hahaha, Hamitupguy is really hamming it up with that big ol' largemouth!

Posted

He's even good to us muskie guys. One of the only bait stores that carried the big suckers this fall. Thank you!

Posted

Well said everyone, thanks Craig!

Posted

Yeah I would chip in for that!

Posted

Oh man! Sign me up. I'd do it in a heart beat. I can see it now, beer, bait, and a hot Heggies pizza delivered by drone. Tip optional.

Posted

Living in Shieldsville, I can also attest to how nice it is to have the store there.

Just recently, I was telling Craig how much of a challenge I was having locating a blade for my old Eskimo. He took pictures of my blade and called around looking for one. We didn't have any luck, but started talking about IONs. Craig mentioned that he had some more coming in, maybe next year I said.

Well I spent the weekend thinking about an ION and leaning hard on my old Eskimo to punch some holes.

When I came back in and bought the ION, I think Craig was more excited than I was. OK, not quite, but he was a close second!

Thanks for all of the help Craig.

Scott

Oh snap... The heggies just got brought up. Now I'm hungry for one!!! Pizza and beer delivery would be nice to the shack!

Posted

I totally agree Craig is a stand up guy. Talked with him yesterday for awhile while I got bait. He truly loves what he does. Thanks Craig for the stories and the spots. Caught 12 crappies last night laugh

Stopped by the country store today and got hooked up with an auger extension due to all the ice we have. It is just awesome that you have the stuff the fishermen need. thank you so much and you will always have my business at your store.

Posted

Thanks TeeWook. I was lucky enough to score on a bunch of Jiffy and StrikeMaster extensions. Took awhile but I pulled them from a couple of sources. It should be a nice long season with all of the ice we have out there. If this cold sticks around too much longer, we may have to double those extensions up to get through all the ice. P.S. Glad you had a great day with the sunfish yesterday, nice picture.
