Dave:

Closest one I know of is Selfridge Sport and Tackle off of Jefferson Between Hall road and 21 Mile. It is just north of the Selfridge DNR launch site. They have minnows, waxworms, spikes, mousies, wigglers, etc.

ther is also the bridge bait shop..it is closer to 21mile...as you pass over a bridge look down and to your left .....

You can also park at the Bridge bait shop and walk out through the canal their on if it's froze over. It's convenient. Park, dress, buy bait and walk out and fish!! You have to get there early though. The lot fill's up fast. It's also about a 300+ yard walk down the canal to the lake.

Good Luck.

YoungSteve, do you ask the owner before you park there....or does he not mind? Great idea.....

[Young Steve]

Just buy your bait there and you can just park. I think the guy who own's it live's above the store. I think he open's at 7am. Most of the parking is in the back and on the side. Watch how you park if you plan on getting off the ice early. People park anyway they can and will block you in. The door to the store is at the front of the building on the left. It's one of those old, kinda run down bait shop that smell's like fish but I like it that way. They have minnow's, waxie's, mousie's, wigglers and chubs I beleive. I haven't been there yet this year.

Good luck if you go. Give me a report when you get back.
