silver one Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks Dirty Dog The only other place I know of and I go threw on my way to S.H. is in Grand Junction. I was just wondering if S.H. Had a place you could get them in a pinch if by some chance we hit the mother load. My father Always use to pop the eyes out of the perch he would catch and use them for bait. Thought I might give that a try as he claims the gobies will leave them alone. Anyone else ever tried this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLF Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 What about D & R sports on West Main(M43)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTY DOG Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 hey joe the second best bait for use over the fourth was gobbie cut bait, they do also have minnows at the store in grand juc.terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver one Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 west main is a long way out of my way. but yeh your right that is another thought. Terry: Do you mean actual cut up pieces of the gobbies you caught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTY DOG Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 yes or live ones that are under 3 inches but the cut ones worked better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver one Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Ill give it a try. How big do you cut up your pieces? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKuiper Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 You might try Merson corners. The bait shop on the East Side of M-40 opens usually at 6 AM and they give you a good honest count + for $1 dozen. The place in Grand Junction has been out of minnows a couple of time that I went by there last week. And they don't open until 7 AM.Let us know how the perching goes. I've had a tough time there the last two times out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver one Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks I also go right by there as I take 102 to the bloomingdale road and then cut up 388 to 390 and come in on Phenoix road. I live in Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLF Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Another option would be to take M-222 in to Allegan, and stop by Webbers and Sons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver one Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yeh: I thought about it but its a little more difficult to come into allegan with Islander. But I have gone this route before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
