I knew Andrews Bait shop on Nimrod was closed on Mondays. But I circled by this morning to pick up ice and minnows. Waited till 7:15 and nobody showed up.
Do they have new hours or just an oversleep??

Maybe should buy minnows and ice before the long drive if he won't stay open . Seen this posted several times over last couple years .Quote:

I thought there were two bait stores on Lake Atkins ? I did a search online and failed to find a shop with live minnows . Maybe someone can help find one if there is one . May need to build a big home bait tank and buy in bulk or use jigs .Quote:

The little bait shop on Brewer has a good idea. He has a little room that has the minnow tanks that stays open or unlocked 24/7. On a honor system, you help yourself and then put your $3 per dozen in a slot in another door.
Might investigate in a home tank.....
This time of year it is easy to keep minnows at home. It is always a good option.
I just drove over to see if there was a sign. They have been closing on Sunday and Monday for winter hours thru December. Might have been a family emergency or something.

I was over there Sat and again Tuesday and they were closed both days. I don't use minnows but could have used a breakfast sandwich. I'll be better prepared next time.
I just spoke with Kathy and she said they probably won't be open until next Wednesday. It depends on whether Jerry has surgery or not. I heard he took a fall.
We went in this past Tuesday afternoon about 4:00pm and they were closed. However the young lady next door came over and opened up for us. She said her grandad was dealing with some back problems and also said if we come and they are closed to check with her if her car was there.
Not worth chasing minnows with as many people use jigs tipped with niblets,,,,I’ll never use minnows again
+You really use nibbles ? :scratchheadQuote:
