Not sure about 163/53, that would be Rickards, the one on up a little farther on 53 towards ferry is called Herbs, a small carryout. He usually gives ya a real good count and nice minnows lately. We have been getting 2-3 inch minnows, just bring scissors and cut em in half, work great.
Hi-Way Bait on 163 just past Bass Haven.
If launching at Catawba try Jeanette's on Weyh road.
Thought she closed, not sure, just what I've heard.
Jeanette's is still open, purchased minnows there last weekend
Thanks everybody ! We went to Richards this morning since it's right across the street from the motel. Good bait and nice people.
The other day I had small minnows that died and got soft. I cut a perch strip about 2 in long and a 1/4 in wide. I ran the hook through the skin. No more buying minnows... the strip is tough and when you get a bite you don't have to reel up to check the bate... try it!
That's good to know. I ran out of shiners the other day.
