Hotspotoutdoors

A buddie of mine who works part time at the shop told me sun they were closing doors. I went by on tue and the place was dark. If this is true that only leaves a very few places around town one can get decent minnows anymore.

really??? thats sad to hear if true

If it's true, that stinks. That's a tough location. How long has it been there?

where else can you get good bait

If you are heading sw give the Bait Den a look
CO Rd 75 an 33rd St S.Nice little shop with a wide
selection to chose from.

I was waiting for baitden jim to jump in and plug his own shop. Hang in there jim not much competition left in town for ya any more.

still scheels if you want to go to the mall, that is where i always bought bait, cheap and it lasted

maybe they will put more into the Monticello shop.

That is a true bummer!!!
It was a great little bait shop for sure.

tackle box is also still in business on cty 75 next to shooters saloon

Yes it is and they usaly got pretty good bait and a fair tackle selection.

I thought they closed down. Every time I drove by there the past few months they were closed, and the one time I was able to shop there they had no power.

Open the last few times I stopped by.

when i lived in st cloud i always used the tacklebox. . . they always gave a heathly scoop and a half

StopLightBait is OPEN, has bait and should have ELS Next Week!

It is great to hear that such a long time fixture is up and running again.Small buisnesses like this don't get rich but are there for the sportsman-woman.Good luck and keep plugging away.

From talking with one of the owners of Monticello bait, they decided to close that shop to put it into the monticello shop. The woman who owns the build of corner-stop, is going to reopen it on a limited bases in order to sell the building and the buz.

I was in the bait den this morning and they had a sign
that stated they had redtails again. so now where did jimbo
find these? None the less I had to get some and fish this great fall day.And the walleye bite was fast and furious.

Just in the other day. Got great minnows that are still lively today! Always fresh bait in my opinion, best i have found since i have moved to the area in August.

crazy, what lake you fishing or are you on the river?

I was out on clearwater,east side. oh I would say about 15-20 ft.they were anywhere from 17 to 29 inches.What a way to spend the day.

Was in Stoplight today and picked up a scoop of fat heads and had a look around. Minnows are a bit cheeper than the other places around town the tackle selection is a little limited right now but the stuf they have is priced to sell. I for one am glad they are still around.
