Shiners/Minnows where to by Port Clinton or Catawba?

Heading out to Ramp at Catawba State Park in the morning where is the BEST and closest place to buy bait? This will be my first time perching out there with my new boat thanks in advance and for your time! - Captain Dave lol

I always stop at Rickards right at the NE corner of 163 and 53. Very generous with the scoops. Has had them everytime I've gone there this year too.
