what kind of prices did you find at petco Otis?
Cool, you're close to some good ice fishing. Let me know if you want to get out this winter. It shouldn't be long before those small lakes ice up.
Why Not use the bait ordering link that has been floating around this site. You can order good quantitees at reasonable prices and have them dropped at your door....http://www.vadosbait.com/index.htmlThis really is the way to go. I've been buying all my grubs for ice fishing exclusively by mail order for 6-7 years. It's almost always cheaper than bait shops. It's OFTEN better quality than bait shops. You have a whole seasons supply on hand. And you don't have to drive half way around the world the night before a trip to find a couple dozen.I've also been loading up on minnows (big pike size & small perch size) & keeping them in a stationary tub with an aerator in my garage. As long as the water doesn't freeze solid they keep a LONG TIME. This way I'm never short of bait whether I'm jigging, dead sticking, or running tip-ups.The Fiend
