I recently stumbled upon Northern Outfitter Bait Shop, and I have to say, it's an absolute…read morenecessity! In downtown Grand Rapids this place offers everything a fishing enthusiast could dream of, combined with trendy outdoor apparel that would make any fashion-forward adventurer swoon. Firstly, the selection of bait is pretty good. Whether you're looking for live bait or lures, they've got it all. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and eager to help you find exactly what you need to reel in the big one. Their expertise and friendliness make shopping here a breeze, even if you're new to fishing. They carry a wide range of trendy brands, including Patagonia. Whether you're gearing up for a day on the lake or just want to look stylish while exploring the great outdoors, you'll find something that catches your eye. The quality and variety of their clothing are impressive, with options for every season and activity. And let's talk about the Yeti merchandise! If you're a fan of Yeti, this is the place for you. They have an incredible array of colors and products, from coolers to drinkware, all designed to keep your gear cool and your drinks even cooler. It's a one-stop shop for all things Yeti, and the vibrant color selection makes it easy to find something that suits your style. They are currently 15% off everything they have in stock which I really haven't seen a discount like that anywhere else. Overall, Northern Outfitter Bait Shop combines the best of both worlds - top-quality fishing gear and trendy outdoor apparel with the comfort and easiness of a small town shop. It's the perfect place to stock up on essentials for your next adventure while looking good doing it. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. My personal favorite is Bennet Francis the sleepy dog at the counter. He is so sweet, gentle and laid back. He's just happy to be there and catch some z's.

We went in to exchange it and they could have not been more accommodating. She did not have the receipt and had removed the tags. They knew it was their product and were happy to make the swap for a larger size. As she made the swap, I browsed through the store with my other cousin. Oh my, the variety of merchandise was mind blowing. They had everything you'd need for a camping trip. They even sell camping packages for the boundary waters and when you check-in on Yelp they offer a 15% off coupon. If you're a fisher, they also offer live bait to help you catch that big fish. That way your "big fish" story will be truth instead of a made up one. My other cousin who was traveling with us, caught so much fish during our trip, that when we left Ely, we had to stop at Spirit to buy dry ice. When in Ely, I highly recommend that you shop, Spirit.

My family and I rented a Pontoon from Wheeler Marine LLC recently and had nothing but excellent service. Laura helped us out and answered all of the questions that I had.
