To make matters worse is that any parent that was into fishing has now lost their free time with all their kids activites and wind up being a taxi service carting them around.
I generally fish artificials but do make a weekly stop for live bait during ice fishing season (if we ever get another one!)
My local shop does have a large selection of lures that you can't find elsewhere and it does draw in customers
