 At
Five Corners, we recognize our importance not only to the
local fishing community, but also to summer residents and
vacationers, and we pride ourselves on friendly and knowledgable
service.
As
Crystal Lake's only Bait & Tackle Shop, we're just around
the corner from the public boat launch. We offer an assortment
of basic equipment to meet your fishing needs—whether
you're hitting the lake or wading one of the area's many streams
and rivers.
 |
We're
a licensed minnow dealer and always keep fresh supplies
of seasonal bait on hand, and we'll share any information
we have about the current "hot spots," as
well as what's working and what's just being dragged
through the water.
If
something goes wrong with your favorite fishing rod
or reel, we can provide repair services.
|
Stop
in, have a cup of coffee, and tell us what you need. If we
don't have it, we'll do our best to get it for you.
Remember,
we are the only Bait and Tackle shop on Crystal Lake,
we make your search for bait as convenient as possible.
When you have to run back to shore for minnows or
wigglers, you can walk instead of drive to our door.
We keep our new "baitquarium" stocked with
the best minnows available.
Our
hours are currently 9:00
to 5:00 Mon-Sat, and 11:00
to 3:00 Sun.

productive.

hours. Kings are starting to show up, and alewives are
moving in.

to target trout.
