I would like to express my gratitude to all our customers who have stopped by to purchase trout bait. Many of you may have noticed that I have not been maintaining a large inventory of live bait in the refrigerator, and I would like to provide some insight into my reasoning. As a smaller business, I aim to carefully estimate demand and prepare accordingly. My primary concern is ensuring that customers do not arrive to find that the bait has died. During the summer, it is more common for the refrigerator to be out of crawlers than to contain dead ones in the middle of the day. Every evening throughout the summer, I carefully count the bait to guarantee its quality. Anyway, thank you to everyone who stopped by.
