Best place to buy bait?

[Guest]

Coming up to spend three days in a sleeper. If I run out of bait,is there a close place to get good bait without taking a hour or should I try to bring enough to last 6 guys three days? Is there an easy way to keep 800 minnows alive.

There is plenty of bait and tackle right here. West Wind, Hillman's, Hudec's, Mort's and Roger's. The best part is that they know what is happening/working on the lake in real time.

Last year Hudecs was selling the river shiners that are from that area and LOW area, they are a far more active and energenic minnow, it was well worth my time to buy from him. I believe all the bait shops will try to steer you right, like Kelly said they know whats working. Good luck fishing and Kelly, get those decoy houses ready I'm sure some binoculars will be following you.

I painted the houses different colors. That should get me at least two weeks peace and quite.

I've seen you in action at W.W. Kelly. You call that peace and quiet? Anybody come up with a shower facility yet? Looking like you when up there is hard to avoid with all the hospitality served up at W.W. but smell is a whole diferent ballgame. Never got to see the famous Mazda in action when I was up there. Does it scale buckets of jigglesticks as easily as the Chev? Heading for Iowa for a few days to chase birds and then start thinking about heading up to harrass you in person. Out.

The Village One Stop in Kelliher has put in a shower facility, its 15 miles away but its better then nothing.

Burbot Bruce's big 2 story house has a shower. He has the best house on the lake. It's a lot like Hillman's old "DoubleDecker", fish downstairs and sleep upstairs.
That night the bucket of rods bit the dust was good example of why you need to be able to move fast. We moved your house and my sleeper out of that crowd and over 2 miles away real quick. That was great fishing that night after we moved out of that fast growing crowd. I often wonder what the crowd thought, just when they get the houses surounded the houses break out leaving vapor trails.
The bucket of rods was unfortunate but if that guy wanted to be right along side my house he shouldn't have his rods in a white bucket. I was too busy trying not to run over people to get to my house to notice a white bucket.
Good luck down south. As good as your dogs fish they should meet Halad's dog and learn to drive too.
