As far as PIB you clean your own . I know of no fish cleaning options on South Bass except taking the ferry back to catawba for cleaning.

Can I purchase minnows on the Island then?

No live minnows on South Bass either to purchase. I will salt then freeze live minnows and take them over to fish with. My opinion is that these minnows work just as good as having live ones with you.

Haven't been there yet this but Crafts on SW corner of Kelley's sometimes has shiners. They are just east of the old ferry dock, not far.

Don't know any fish cleaning places, though I'm sure you'd find a local who could.

Yea, Crafts have shiners. I got some last weekend there. As far as cleaning your fish, you are going to have to clean your own.

Good deal! Forgot to mention that sometimes you need to go to the blue house next door if the door is locked. He also has a small "harbor" there so you can pull your boat up for shiners. Friendly folks.

They are certainly friendly.

A year or 2 ago I was staying on the island and they were out of minnows, I had to wait while the truck came across the ferry with them. :)

Huron drive-through seems to always have shiners,sandwiches and snacks as well as beer and tackle. Also has great fish cleaning. The guys there do a fantastic job. A half mile away is one of the best boat launches around, with plenty of parking FREE! Huron boat launch. Three and a half miles to dumping ground, 1 1/2 miles to sawmill, 3 miles to cranberry.
