Two man limit of average perch in front of lakeside pier. Was too hot to try and sort very much. Lot of 7 and 8 inchers. Did get a few more 10s today than last time. Crappie rigs and perch colored spreaders with shiners on the bottom. Let it hit bottom count to ten and lift slow. We were in 26 fow. Got too small walleyes too. Not too much junk. Off the water around 1130

Where did you find shiners?
My freezer
A&J bait shop has shiners. Just watch out they like overcharging people.
Hi= way bait had some Fri they were shipped from out of state.
I will second this about Ajs, stopped in the other week wanted a firetiger j7 to pull behind the down rigger. They were on the way so I stopped. It was 10 bucks. Later that day when I had some time stopped in at St clairs, they had for 2 bucks less.
Not to start an argument but there is a big difference in being high priced and over charging. If the marked price is to high you do have a choice about actually buying the item or not buying the item. Over charging requires you watch the cash register to make sure you are being charged the advertised/marked price. The first one high priced is being greedy the second over charging the advertised/marked price is being dishonest.
Very good point!! If you think the price is to high then leave it, your choice.Quote:

If someone else has shiners next weekend you can bet I won't go to A&J. He also over charged me earlier this year for a few bandits.
I seen my neighbor from my campground going in as I left and told him to watch out...Guess what he told me later that evening that he was also overcharged and would never go back there again.
It's a shame you have to watch them like this.
I have frequented a n j a lot lately because he's the only guy who consistently has emeralds. I've been charged the same per scoop every time. Today I got probably 2/3 shiners 1/3 Goldie's. First time I've noticed a mix. The perch didn't care though. I'd have to say the scoops have been better than other places I've frequented in the past. Too bad there were some bad experiences
Prices were not marked, count your worms too, bought 4 doz that day, he handed me 2 containers, should had been 2 dozen in each. They were the larger containers so I did not pull them all out to count. Normally the larger containers have 2 dozen. Mine only had 1 each. Not sure if they put them in themself there or buy them from someone else. But sad if you have to count worms in the store
Prices are up in the corner on the board. Last weekend shiners were 3.50 a scoop. This weekend they were 4.00 a scoop.
You can bet I will have the exact price figured out including tax this next weekend. That's only if no one else has shiners. I'm trying to stay away from A&J
Nothing wrong with venting ones frustrations if one has been wronged. But the best way to get it to stop and get the problem resolved is to confront the perpetrator with the complaint. Several years ago during the jig bite 4 of us bought 4 scoops of minnows at one of the major bait stores located along Rt. 2. When we got to the ramp one of my friends opened up the bucket to find that we only had 30 some minnows in the bucket(yes he counted them). That figured out to be 8 or 9 minnows per scoop. We went back and told them about it and got the problem resolved without incident. To this day I have never set foot in that bait store again. But I did not feel it was necessary to publicly chastise that particular store only because because we sought and received a satisfactory resolution to the problem. Had the problem not been resolved I would have made every effort to let the public know.
As it says in post #9 I did go back in to no avail
Sorry! But it appears that your convictions about your being wronged was not as strong as as your desire to not want to create a scene or was it because he was busy with the charter guys, which one was it or was it both? Kinda hard to tell with your statement in post 9. Just saying that if you do not take your complaint to conclusion with the owner then you have little room to complain.Quote:

I will say this about anjs. They tend to have almost everything one would need on hand, they keep great hrs, open very early, some bait shops don't open till much later.
It's kind of like McDonald's we have all pulled away only to find a hash brown missing, or the wrong sandwich in the bag. It we are close we go in get it fixed, sonetimes your 5 mins plus down the road before you notice. But we all go back. Did they do it on purpose, you will never know. Maybe some ppl just have trouble doing math and get it wrong. Maybe ppl feel if I can slip a few bucks here few bucks there they won't know, and if brought up I can say sorry and fix it.
Think how many ppl a day get riped off from there 1 dollar hash brown, it has to add up to a nice chunk of extra if you the consumer don't notice
I love hashbrowns
