bait shop guide

[Slab]

I thought I'd let you know about a new web site I opened, if you have not heard about it already from the main board.


I opened BaitshopGuide.com as a place to list bait shops, in an effort to help fishermen find good bait shops. It allows fishermen to rate bait shops, and it provides an outlet for bait shops to get their name out to fishermen.


I need your help to make this site an accurate resource for all to use. Please take a look at the bait shops in your state, check them for accuracy, and if you have an opinion about one, please rate them. Yes you have to sign up, but it's a quick process.


If you know of a missing bait shop, also please post it here, and I will add it. To add a bait shop, I'll need their name, address, phone number, and website name if they have one. Plus any other information you might have about the shop.


If you review a bait shop on baitshopguide.com, or provide information to add a bait shop, I will send you the following decal and a Crappie.com decal free. Just PM me your address after you submit the review/baitshop and I'll mail them to you.


The "I'd rather be crappie fishing" decal is an outside of glass decal (they both are). It's not white on black, it just looks that way in the picture. It's just the white letters. It's applied with transfer paper. You take the sticker off the paper, leaving it on the transfer paper, and then you apply the transfer paper to the window, peel the transfer paper off the window, leaving the sticker applied to the window. You know that kind. Ask me about it if you have questions.

I forgot to mention, if you own a bait shop, by all means, go ahead and register at BaitshopGuide.com and add your bait shop. If it's already listed there, you can claim the listing, and update it with additional informatin. It's free advertising, don't pass this deal up. We're trying to help bait shops, and fishermen unite! A marriage made in heaven. lol

Also, if you post a bait shop here, and don't see me add it right a way, don't worry. I'm waiting a little, for them to accumulate, before I add them. I'm going through all the states. It's a lot of work, but I love it.

Thank you all for your help.

Also wrote a review pm you.
This will be very helpful going to other lakes. Getting the reviews from the fishermen and not some chamber of commerce that doesn't even know where the shop is..
thanks again.

Review: Very nice mom and pop establishment. They have assorted live baits and you can purchase many of them by the pound. They normally have leeches, crickets, worms, crawlers, meal worms, wax worms, and various size minnows on hand. The owners are super friendly and will give honest reports of what they have been told by fisherman. They also carry tackle, drinks, ice and a few snacks for the trip. The owner is also a commercial fisherman and has a tremendous knowledge of Kentucky Lake. They have been in business for over 20 years and are eager to serve KY Lake fisherman.

On the Missouri list, " Jerry's bait shop" is a bar and grill in Lees Summit. Good food and beer for sure but I don't think that they sell any bait..........

I removed Jerry's. Thanks for the update.
