This Pappy's Bait & Mama's Junk Store location has closed

Pappy's Bait & Mama's Junk Store offers a pretty good selection of bait and tackle. The owner, a kind woman, is sweet and willing to help. They have crawdads that are big and also offer canoe kayak rentals. The store is open in spring and summer, closed November, December, and January. Customers enjoy fresh cucumbers from the garden, healthy minnows that stay alive over 12 hours, and crickets for fishing. The shop hosts Solar Eclipse events and keeps guests entertained with cornhole, karaoke, and custom eclipse souvenirs from local vendors. Visitors praise the friendly, helpful service and the variety of items for a fishing trip. Many return for more.
