I was asked to make this topic so members can post and find open bait shops around the state.
RULES FOR POSTING
1) Name of Bait shop, Address, County, and Phone number or website if available. You can also add what type of bait they carry.
2) No second hand reports please. Only post if you have been there yourself.
3) For those promoting their own business, NO ADVERTISING!!!!! This is part of rules of Iceshanty.com. Just your info in rule 1.
once again, NO ADVERTISING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's an example:

This spot is for bait only. It isn't a walk-in shop with aisles and racks of gear. It's a guy who keeps tanks of bait in his cellar. You must call him to get bait - no showing up and knocking on the door. If you call ahead a few minutes before you get there, he will have the bait waiting for you outside. If you don't call ahead, you may need to wait for him to get the bait for you. Really nice guy with a good selection of minnows.
