A buddy told me that there is a new bait shop in Newport, just off Hwy 61 & Glen Road. Anybody know the name of the place and what their hours are? It would be easier for me to stop there than drive all the way into Hastings and then come back up the hill to go to the bluffs.
Thanks!

I found it this morning. Can’t remember the name, but it’s on the east side of 61 just north of Glen Road. You have to loop back around by the SA to get there, but it’s not a big deal. They open at 6AM on the weekends. The only other advice I have is to get two scoops of fatheads. One scoop there is probably not enough. I am NOT complaing, I’m still ahead of the game for me to stop there rather than the extra 8 miles (at $3.00/gallon), not to mention the extra 15 minutes, to run into Hastings. But some scoops are bigger than others….. And they do have an indoor bow range.
Well thanks for, um well… 
No name or adderess 
I’ll let you slide if you post some more info at a later day 
How close is that to the I-494 Landing?
I put a post out about it two weeks ago.
Backwoods Archery and Sports. 651-768-0599. I have bought bait there twice so far.
Thanks for covering me, Mike. After I went by there again yesterday, I did get the name, but not the phone number. It’s not hard to find, you can see it easily from Hwy 61.
Martin, it’s not too far from the 494 landing, but if you are launching there, you might be better off going to the antique shop in SSP, assuming that guy is still selling bait. I haven’t been by his place in a while.
Greg,
Where is the antique shop in SSP? Do they sell willowcats in the summer?
Do they handle fishin nets? 
The last time that I was in the antique shop in SSP they had minnows and that was about all, along with a few of the basics
