    If you get the chance and were going to stop at Bob and Steve’s BP station in Prescott please take your business elsewhere if you can. At least once. Those jackwads didn’t open this morning and ruined my short opportunity to fish. I even called them last night to confirm hours and bait availability.

    Why weren’t they open? What time were you there? What time did they say there hours are?

    They open at 0630. Another fisherman was waiting in the lot when I got there from 0630-0715. I took the 0715-0745 watch. I hate relying on them for bait. Going to Blue Ribbon today to prepare for tomorrow morning.

    Wouldn’t work. I had a small window and I was already in Prescott. I know where the fish are and I need MINNOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’m just pissed as hell. Its very hard for me to get off work. Especially a weekday morning. Hopefully I can arrange the same thing tomorrow. I’ll drop off my unused minnoes in their lot!

    Got to have a plan B of gulp 2.5″ smelt minnows in the tackle box. I’ve outfished guys side by side with them, but sometimes they out fish me too. Either way better than sitting in a parking lot

    They are very unreliable. I’ve also gone there and been dissapointed as they ran out of minnows. You’d think a gas station/bait shop next to the river would do a better job of stocking their live bait. Also, I’ve found some of their staff to be very unprofessional. One time- I had to net my own minnows because the girl that worked there thought they were “icky”.

    That’s the only reason Suzuki used to go there.

    Funny, I liked scooping my own minnows there years ago. My scoop would probably have been larger than the average amount an employee would have given me.
