My wife caught it, I just netted it.

Need a quick recommendation of a place to pick up some live bait today, somewhere between campus and the north end of town... @AKAK ?

What kind of live bait (the easy answer is, don't be on the north end of town)

 

[AKAK]

And where you ending up with said bait?

 

[LostLassie]

There used to be a live bait place on Riverside Dr., but that's not exactly the north end of town.

Probably just some little wax worms, need to grab something on the way home for a campout with the kids tomorrow.

I know most Dick's sporting goods, Bass Pro shops and other such chain sporting goods stores carry nightcrawlers in season. don't know if they have them right now.

Meijer has a cooler with live bait in their fishing section.

Yeah, that kind of stuff you can usually get at Wal Mart, Meijer or something. (As these guys have been mentioning). Sadly the Olentangy corridor is underserved in that respect. Hot dogs work on sunfish, btw. My daughter has slaughtered hundreds that way.

Memory lane: What was the fishing and bait store called at the corner of Central College and Sunbury Roads? Dots?

 

[AKAK]

If you want to get fancy... one kernel of core, chunk of hot dog, another kernel of corn. (the problem with hot dogs is, they are easy to nibble off the hook)

Its Dutchman now (I don't know what it was prior). And its an awesome shop.

I remembered. Harry & Dots. Never went anywhere else. Couldn't believe that building is still there. Back then, fifty years ago, that building already looked bloody old!

I don't get over there too much, but I do make it a point to go in the spring at least once a year and load up on odds and ends depleted... and if I'm messing with an idea in my head, I'll drive over there because if they don't have it, they have the parts to build it. Having said that, I rarely fish Hoover... (nothing against it, I just don't)

Edit: Speaking of which, I need to do some inventory and stop by. Some jack ass stole my fishing bag out of my truck in a parking lot a few weeks ago. (Fishing bag, not to be confused with tackle box... which in AKAK land is a whole different thing. Its the bag that has all the shit you need to go fishing that's not in a particular tackle box, while it does have general terminal tackle/improvised, line etc, its mostly for pliers, knives, scissors, line etc in it, it also has, cigar cutter, bottle opener, torch lighter, flashlight, sharpening steel, various other tools, bug spray, sun screen etc. Pain in my ass replacing it. Of course it had both my favorite fillet knives.... there were two small tackle boxes next to it, including one with 12-15 lucky craft lures, of course they didn't take that... because they are dumb.)
