there is a new bait shop in lakeland plaza on route 23. THEY HAVE HERRING. this is about 3 minutes from echo lake, and very close to the other NWCDC reservoirs. they have only been open about two weeks, so the shelves aren't fully stocked yet, but they are working on it. friendly staff both times that i have been there so far.
i'm not affiliated with them or anything, i am just happy to see another bait shop open in an extremely convenient location and wanted to spread the word. hopefully once they are established they can become a sponsor here as well.
