Drove down to get some minnows only to find a sign up saying they’re closed from July - September. So good to know before you go. And the listed phone number isn’t in service.

Good bait shop stop there a bunch of times. Only reason a four star is because the last time I went there they were completely out of everything but that’s only happened one time

I’ve purchased minnows here numerous times on the way to Huntsville SP. Good prices and selection. They usually have everything I want. I like the self-service.
