[QUOTE="Chiflyguy, post: 5805658, member: 20386"] Back in my previous life, we had bait shops. The kind where you got the 411 and the didn’t count minnows. All left over the past few years. Even a Chicago landmark, Henry’s Bait and Tackle at 31st and Canal by Comiskey Park closed its doors. During perch season in the summer, they’d be open at 4:00 a.m. Right across the street, under the El train tracks was the Maxwell Street Station. Hot dogs, Polish sausage, and their famous pork chop sandwich with grilled onions and mustard. Get a pork chop, fries,RC(it’s the south side) a bucket of minnows and head to Navy Pier and whack some perch on a Sunday morning. About the only time I got along with my dad during my teen years.Fishing. Now livin down here, I was still ordering my stuff online. Then I discovered Tom’s sporting Goods in Morristown. What an awesome store. A bunch of guys hanging out, talking fishing and always up to help. As far as prices for example, his crankbait prices are cheaper than online.Us older guys talk about the good old days. Old school bait shops were it. Good to see them around down here. Rigbys in Tazewell is another good one. Although it’s run by Indians, the family is very nice, bait is a good price and prices are good. [/QUOTE]
