Where to buy minnows around Ottawa?

[Popps]

Hi guys, clearly a newbie to ice fishing I am.....other than Manotick bait and tackle where can you buy minnows in January that's more central to town??? I'm hoping there's somewhere other than way out by Petrie?

Thanks in advance.

Pete,

Bits and Baits has them.

[Popps]

Thanks, anywhere in between Stittsville and Manotick?

[Jimmy_1]

Bits and Baits is in Stittsville.
Pete, Gord is also another fellow MCI member.

The drive out to either shop is totally worth while and just as a reminder, don't forget to print out your reward coupons before stopping in.

Guys, thanks very much. I guess I wasn't quite clear, what I'm asking is more "is there a place inside of the greenbelt?"

I remember a place around Westboro that my dad and I would use when I was a kid but that's back in the 80s and no doubt it's gone now....

Cheers.

Ozille's, Sports Action (I think) in the East.
Bits and Baits and Baitcasters in the West.

Bits and Baits is on the main street of Stittsville.

I don't know of any bait shop in and around Greenborro.

Sometimes I wish there were more than 1 in CP!

Popps I think the one you're thinking about was in Britannia, I am pretty sure that it is not there anymore.

Yeah, that's probably it...I was just a kid but sounds quite possible.

Amazing how as the city gets more and more built up and more commercial you lose services eh? If only Starbucks sold bait....then I'd be happy!
