They are not trying to hide anything. Night crawlers come in live styrofoam containers in 1 or 2 dozen choses. I am not a minnow connoisseur but they looked lively and schooled up with lots of type and size s to chose from. They have all the other sundries as well; bait hardware, rod Maintenace items and even maps and shirts. Staff is polite and helpful with out being pushy. That is always a bonus item to me. The only strike I have against them this they are not open 24 hours, but they are open 7 days a week.

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.

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.

The DMV is backed up and he has the paper document but it isn't "allowed". This worker was by far the worst service I had ever experienced. I will never go to back.

Further proving the desolation of the area are the Christmas decorations; the tree outside was decorated with ornaments and a "dead deer" hanging by its back legs in the tree. (OK maybe I am being slightly dramatic - its not that far out of civilization). Any way. They have every little random thing you might need in a pinch, but it is definitely not a place to do your main shopping. It was $7 for a bag of chips and carton of eggs but it saved a bunch of gas and time, so I think it evens out. I am sure we will be back, frequently, as someone in the family is at the cabin every weekend. Its good to know a place run by nice people exists conveniently nearby.
