Olcott/Wilson Bait Store Recommendation

[dgfidler]

I'm going to be camping at Four Mike Creek State Park and fishing out of Olcott or Wilson this weekend. I'm all set equipment wise, but need to get some spoons and some flies to go with some flashers and spin doctors I bought online over the winter. I'm also hoping to get a small quantity of herring strips or whole alewives to experiment with running meat. I'm hoping someone can recommend a local bait store that is 'friendly' in the sense that they might help me pick out some basic terminal tackle to get a newbie started.

Wes, at slippery sinker, or the boat doctor. Both in olcott on the street to the town marina, west side of the bridge.

Thank you for the quick replies. I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this next question. Are there any businesses in the area that clean and store any fish we might happen to catch? I've become so used to using 'fish cleaners' when I fish Lake Erie that I'm not very skilled at cleaning my own fish.

A little late but my votes for ASB as well. Honest folks with great tackle selection.

Anyone have a number or address or the road name ASB is on? Not familiar with the area. Been to Olcott only a couple of times.

Thanks in advance

Wow! Thank you for the recommendation of ASB Tackle. Visited him Friday evening and he hooked me up with the basics and gave me tips on where to start and how deep to run the downriggers. Thanks again.

So...how did ya do on the water?

4 for 8 on kings ranging from 14 to 18 plus one steelhead. Totally exceeded my expectations. Turns out my sonar (200/455) loses bottom in 100+ fow and I had to rely on lake master contour charts for depth. Used the Fishhawk and just spread the lines between 50 and 42 degrees which ended up being between 50 and 100 down. The next piece of vulnerable equipment was this plastic triple rod holder. I kept the drags loose to prevent losing three rods, but I think that contributed to my 50% hookup rate.
