Bait Shops

Where is a good place to get decent sized bait (minnows) in the Little River/Cherry Grove area? Seems like Johnny’s is always closed when I come by.

I got some decent ones from Eugene Platts. I heard that the guide down on Sea Mountain Hwy sold jumbo mud minnows.

He used to Gooze. Not sure if he still does. Thanks for the response.

Fish-On charters normally has a good bait selection. Check in with them!

Thanks Lboogie. I normally stop at johnny’s if they are open. But it seems they haven’t been open the last couple times I was heading out.

Cornwell at Johnny’s told me yesterday that they wouldn’t have any until Friday. Got more decent ones at Eugene Platt’s. I also got about 2 dozen decent finger mullet while throwing the cast net yesterday as well as about a dozen good tiger minnows. Maybe we’ll finally get some decent bait earlier this summer!

Good to know Gooze. How do you go about catching the tiger minnows in a cast net? Byproduct of trying to net mullet?

How was the fishing?
