Illinois Bait Shops - B & S Bait Tackle

Illinois Bait Shops - B & S Bait Tackle

About a month ago we swung by our local bait shop to pick up some last minute items. Eureka... the idea about writing reviews and a series on Illinois bait shops starting flooding to our mind.

Our local bait shop is B & S Bait and Tackle located outside Ashland, Illinois about one mile east of Jim Edgar Panther Creek's entrance.  Owned by Roy and Sue, a friendly and outgoing married couple of over 50 years, this shop has a real sense of community charm to it.

Walking up to the gates of Conservation World the crowd was growing and waiting to enter the 30 acres of fun for all ages.  Director Wayne Rosenthal was there to greet fair-goers as they entered and we felt the enjoyment of IDNR staff talking among guests.
