New Bait Shop in Lakeland

This weekend we went to the Grand Opening of Matt's Lucky Bait & Tackle, the new bait shop in town. We met the owner Matt and his girlfriend Sarah; who happen to only live a couple blocks away from us, less if you travel by river.

They have live bait, which Declan loved to look at and would have jumped in the tank if I would have let him. Matt also has a son Declan's age, so I can only imagine the two could be fishing buds in too short of time for this momma.

The shop is located at 178 St. Croix Trail N, Suite 100, Lakeland, MN 55043.

Summer hours will be 5am to Midnight and on call anytime.
