Closing The Bait Barn on December 14th 2009 for winter remodeling, opening for Ice fishing in Indiana only!

On December 14th 2009, The Bait Barn will be closing for the winter. We need to do some serious remodeling. Due to the cost of running the shop in the winter it is not economical to be open. Our website will be running all year around for online orders. Some live baits will not be available until spring though. This is the BEST time to order frozen baits since shipping cost will be greatly reduced. Catawba Gold Bait Catalpa Worms, Shad guts, Skip Jack.  If you would like to make a deal with us on the live bait remaining in the store after the 14th of December call 317-545-2248 or email us at admin@thebaitbarn.com

For Ice Fisherman in Indiana, We are going to announce on which days we will be open for business to get Ice fishing gear & bait. (Mousies, Spikes, Bee moths (Wax Worms) and fishing equipment) We suggest submitting what you would like to purchase in an email to us or phone call so we don't loose money on buying too much bait. Bee Moths,  Mousies and Spikes can stay in a fridge for several weeks so you don't have to worry about buying them at the last minute to go ice fishing. You can preorder over the phone for you ice fishing gear and bait to be available when the opening days are or schedule a day to pick it up. We will respond with an email or phone call one week prior to opening for the ice fisherman. If awaiting an email ensure you add admin@thebaitbarn.com into your contact list so our email is not sent to your spam folder.

Thank you for a fantastic fishing season in 2009, from The Bait Barn crew.
Happy Holidays and God Bless!

Ice Fishing in Indiana 2009

Over the last few days we have had several people calling and coming by looking for Ice fishing equipment. Reports are coming in that the ice has been 6 to 12 inches thick. The preferred bait has been by far the Spikes and Mousies, Meal Worms. I have seen some beautiful panfish pulled out of the ice lately. At The Bait Barn we are committed to providing you with the latest information on what is being caught, where it is being caught and the preferred bait from your fellow fishermen. If you choose to go ice fishing insure that you have the right tools and proper attire when on the ice. If your looking for up to date information on fishing in Indiana check out these links.

Use caution when on the ice and take a buddy!
