Gander Bait Shop hours

[Bigtime22]

Are they typically open the same hours as the store?

yes, i do not recomend going to gander or other big box stores. go to your locial bait shop. they will know what they are biteing on and they will give you info about the lakes and rivers around your area. the people who work at gander and other big box stores do not know alot of info about ice fishing and fishing.

That seems like a might broad assumption Robert. My experience with alot of the employees at our Gander and other big box stores, have been the exact opposite of your statement. In fact, one of the guys I recently purchased a bunch of stuff from at Gander, put me right onto fish based on his recent success. I think it all just depends on the PERSON, and not the STORE itself.

But I do agree that supporting the local bait shops is important as well.

Typically yes, the hours are reflected by the stores regular posted hours.

With some exceptions that may open early.

Call the local Gander your concerned with and ask the bait shop hours or check the bait shop hours on the Gander web site for that particular location.

I know the Gander in Lakeville had a separate door leading outside just for the bait shop. They opened early and you couldn't get into the rest of the store just the bait shop. Then when the store opens they shut down that outside door so that you have to walk through the store. On weekends during lunch time I believe they open the outside door just for a couple hours for those getting bait mid day though again to make it more convenient.

I was just at Gander Mtn in EP and the door said the bait shop was open at 7am and has its own door. I assume it closes though when the store closes.

The bait shop itself closes when the store closes. Don't be surprised though if that door right to the bait shop closes when the store opens. I know Lakeville's does and it's simply a way to get you to have to come in the front door and walk through the store to get to the bait shop. More than likely you'll buy something else this way.
