Gillette’s Bait and Tackle - New

06/19/2026

These guys have made their way into the vending machine! Please remember that our machine only accepts dollar bills as well as nickels, dimes, and quarters.

We are still fully loaded with bait: medium minnows, night crawlers, maggots, red worms, and green worms. We are considering getting leeches in here soon!

It’s a beautiful day to go fishing! Our self-serve is stocked up for you! Night crawlers, minnows, maggots, green worms, and red worms! I will say, with the power outage we faced, we did lose quite a bit of minnows and do not have a truck coming until Thursday. So, we may become limited on minnows (but worms are just as great 😉).

Also, don’t forget that we do motor work! If you need work done, give us a call!

Light vending machine restock! Still a full line up of bait: Minnows, Night Crawlers, Maggots, Green Worms, and Red Worms (with more of these on the way too 😉).

While I have you here, just a reminder that dead minnows DO NOT go in the middle tank that is empty. They get stuck in the drain, stuck on the sides of the tank, etc. With the summer heat, I know it can get stinky in the self-serve, especially when you open the dead minnow bucket. But, it is truly helpful when you put the dead minnows where they are supposed to go (in the coffee can).

Thanks again for your support!

Well, the weather has surely put a damper on our day ☹️. However, it has allowed us to catch up on some cleaning, vending machine stocking, and packing up bait 😉. We are ready for whenever it decides to get nice out! We have a full line up of bait: Green worms, red worms, maggots, night crawlers, and minnows. Vending machine has: different color jigs, chips, snells, weights, etc!

Thank you for supporting our business! We hope you come back soon if you’re just visiting the area ☺️
