Bait shop in or near Jordan?

[Scott K]

Is there a bait shop in or near Jordan, or Belle Plain? If there is where?

[DTro]

Nowhere close unfortunately.

Depending what you need, I like going to the Holiday in New Prague. Scoop your own and literally some of the biggest fatheads I've ever seen.

They have sucker minnows, and sometimes shiners. They also have Eurolarvae, but they call them Silver Wigglers.

Otherwise if I'm going the other way, I'll go out of my way to Cabin Fever in Victoria.

It's too bad 169 Sports in Belle Plaine didn't make it longer.

Thanks dtro, I dint think either town had one, but sometimes, one will pop up, or a gas station will start selling bait. 169 sports have fooled me several times, I would hear they were open again, I would drive by see the signs, then during the weekend, I would stop and they were out of business. That happened to me a couple different times. Where is Cabin Fever?

Victoria right on hwy 5. East side of town approx 3 blocks from the stoplight downtown on the north side of the road. Great place to pick up bait and get the scoop on where the fish are biting.

[Scott K]

Harvey is that the nearest to you, or out your direction, or is their one in or near Gaylord, Arlington?

The hardware store in Jordan used to sell bait. I'm not sure if they still do but I used to get bait there once in a while.

I think the Otto's still have the vend-a-bait machine outside of the liquor store in BP where 169 sports used to be, don't they? Maybe not in the winter, I'm not sure. I'll check on wednesday night when I bowl.

Which direction are you traveling to fish? There is always Mase's marina in Waconia. The holiday in Prior Lake. I even think an auto parts store in Norwood used to sell bait.

[Scott K]

I was going to try a new spot, by Arlington tonight, and I didnt want to drive to St. Peter, or Belle Plaine first after work.

I meant St. Peter, or New Prague!

[Big Dave2]

Where do you work?

[DTro]

Now that I think about it, Broadway Market (gas station) right on 21 in Jordan carries some small crappie minnows in a tube and maybe some crawlers and waxies.

I will stop there in a pinch from time to time.

[Scott K]

I work in Henderson. Although my wife works in Belle Plaine.

[Scott K]

Thanks dtro, thats what I was looking for, that would work perfect.

[Big Dave2]

well I guess you aren't going to pass any place on your way home from work then!

If your wife is willing, I would have her try the vend-a-bait machine in front of 168 spirits. It's worth a try if she is right in town anyway.

I work in Glencoe. I don't know of any bait stores here but if there is one I could pick something up for you and bring it home to Belle Plaine, but I won't be home till at least 5:00.

Someone should work on Matt at Sparetime Tavern and talk him into selling bait now that he sells fishing and hunting licenses.

The hardware store in Jordan sells bait, or did a couple of months ago. They keep everything in back.

Thanks guys, I will have my wife run to Jordan and get some bait for me.
