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!

A special thanks to and from Bass Pro Shops!

This last week Bass Pro shops called us, evidently their wholesaler dropped the ball. They needed 500 2" bobbers for their holiday craft shop for the children in Florida. We were very pleased they looked to us for the assistance and responded to their request in a timely manner. They were so pleased, they granted us permission to post their email on our website. So if Bass Pro Shops can trust a small mom and pop shop online, so can you! Thank you Bass Pro shops from The Bait Barn family!

Here is the emails we received back after sending the order to Bass Pro Shops.
Thank You so much for the help.  We really appreciate you and your team. 
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They Just Arrived in my Office!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING
