Smitty's Live Bait

Smitty's Live Bait Live Bait, Nightcrawlers, Minnows, and when available: Chubs, leeches, and crawdads. Self Service. Open 24 hours. Pay in box. Place your payment in the box.

Use north door of the shed to get your bait from minnow tank or refrigerator. We believe that most fisherman and people in and around Gothenburg are honest individuals and have the same Nebraska values as we do. We have continued to sale bait based on this "honor system" for several years. Please be respectful of this system so we can continue to offer low cost bait to local fisherman.

Sorry we haven’t posted recently. If you know James well, you already know he’s not much for Facebook. I’ll try to post more updates for him 😉. He doesn’t have any of his regular bait in stock right now, but will start selling again around April or May and usually sells through September. Same set up as usual. During those months he has fathead minnows and night crawlers. He may also have leeches, chubs, shiners, or crawdads depending on the time of year and availability. He has contacts to order flats of night crawlers and leeches for you during those months as well. During the winter, we do have a small amount of red wiggler worms and European Night crawlers if you are wanting something to try for ice fishing. We will also be ordering some wax worms once the weather gets colder. If you would like us to order some for you too, let us know. As always, he greatly appreciates your honesty and enjoys being able to provide bait to his fellow fisherman.
