Nebraska Ice Map easter eggs - bait shops, etc

[FishGut]

I see lots of posts asking where bait is available both here and on the NEFGA forum. "Where can you find frozen smelt?" "Who still has waxies?" I think it would help for people who want to range afield this winter.

Please add a list of your favorite bait/tackle shops (with as close an address as possible, so we can get the pins on the right spots). List bait options if you know 'em.  Gas stations, grocery stores, someone's back yard or garage?

For that matter, where should someone stop to eat? Where should they stay? Restaurants and resorts/motels I'll start to piecemeal together from various state and local publications, but it would be better to start with recommendations.

Thanks
