Willow cats

Anyone know where I can get some willow cats now?

Your best bet will be to call the Bait Shack in Winona, MN @ 507-454-2423 I’ve heard they’re all but impossible to come across lately… but this shop will have them if anyone will.

I wouldn’t even call. I just got off the phone with Stacy and she has a waiting list of names over two pages long with a steady stream of incoming calls. Any cats she might be able to get are already sold, and the way it sounds there will not be many coming in.

You might try River town sports in redwing.

Stacy doesnt work like that!Sorry, I dont know what your motive is here.(Hairs ear)But as most of us know stacy doesnt presell any cats,simple because she doesnt know how are coming in.Iam sure glad I got mine over a month ago.(12 doz.)By the way Rivertown is getting them from Stacy and charging 4 dollars per doz. for the gas fee.

jimm,
let me know how you if you find your willow cats or not in a pm. Are you fishing the walleye searchers tournament on Sat? If so I will see you then, good luck on those cats!

4 dollars per dozen ya right I was just there 12.50 per dozen
He would be giveing them away for 4 bucks
But if he decides to change his mind im buying him out so forget about it! LOL

I have worked with Stacy and the previous owner many years before willowcats became the “hot” item on the tournament trail. She is getting so bombarded with phone calls it is making it difficult for her to take care of her every day customers, you know, the ones that are there year round not just once or twice a year. Don’t believe me, give her a call Jamie since it appears you know her so well, she’ll tell you the exactly same thing I posted earlier

I did talk to her earlier today and she said that when she gets them it will probably be at night after hours so they wont be for sale til morning.

Then she will start calling the names on the list and first come first serve.

Take it easy boys its just bait

Sander,sorry you must have read into it wrong.By 4 bucks I meant 4 dollars over what they are paying for them.12.50-7.00=5.50,so I was wrong.They have to make a buck too.I have heard rumor of some shops mixing in baby bullheads so watch what you get.Good luck!

Four Seasons is selling baby bullheads for $2.50 a scoop. I couldn’t tell the difference but the walleyes might be able to – didn’t catch a fish on them. But then again, I didn’t catch a walleye on anything else either…

I just called river town and he said he just got in some willow cats this mourning, but they are small. He said he knows a guy who is going up north today to try and net some. Where else can we find some?
