Minnows Tanks Temporarily Shut Down

Starting Tuesday, March 25th, the Crappie, Fathead, and Sucker Minnow tanks will be shut down. We're giving our tanks a serious scrubdown during this lull period, getting them s***k and span for the upcoming Open Water Season. Don't worry, we'll have the tanks up and running by Friday, March 28th, with minnows available for sale again.

And…while the Lake Country Convenience & Bait minnow tanks are out of commission, we'll still have Angle Worms, Nightcrawlers, Wax Worms, Silver Wigglers, and Gulp available for sale, because we know some of you just can't wait that long to wet a line.

Good Fishing,

Craig

Winter Blizzard

Unless you are driving one of these, please don’t go out until roads have been cleared and travel is safe.

If you do venture out and need a place to relax and warm up a bit,
Lake Country Convenience & Bait is open and ready to serve up some hot coffee or gas you up if needed.

Yes, Kim made it in so stop by, say hi and please thank her for being there. Truth be told, she said there was only one path down the middle of the road and no where to turn around until she made it to the store otherwise she would have gone back home.

Thank you Kim, I’m glad you made it in safe.

Safe travels,

Craig

*** ATTENTION ***

I have a gallon of Shiners coming in at 9:00 am today.

Get them before they are gone!!!

Full Disclosure:
They are running toward the small size, a bit bigger than a Fathead. We are selling them by the scoop and they have been going fast.

I am a true believer, that genetically speaking, giants breed giant offspring. Keeping enough fish to eat is Mother Nature’s blessing to us, however please release the giants so that the genetics may be passed on to the next generations.

Do Fish Fart?

I know this is a burning question that countless of you have asked many times before (or not). Now you can find the definitive answer for yourself. Stop in to Lake Country Convenience & Bait and purchase a copy of “Do Fish Fart” for your Children, Grandchildren or yourself that answers this and many more fishy questions.

I also have a few of the “THE FROZEN KITCHEN - THE COOKBOOK OF ICE FISHING” books available. This is my second purchase of the recipe book written by Ryan Pinkalla, Pink, Chef of the Crappie Chronicles.

Happy fishing, cooking and farting,

Craig
