Crawlers in Thunder Bay or en route to Nakina

[SteveJ715]

Hi all,

Anyone know of a good place to get crawlers either in Thunder Bay or along 11/17 between there and Nakina? I did check previous posts but only found a few and they were several years old. If you hit the same place every year and they've got the goods at a decent price, I'd love to hear from you. My Dad did call one bait shop in Thunder Bay that quoted him a price of $6/dozen and only available by the dozen (no flat/half-flat pricing). Maybe that is the going rate these days but I don't recall paying that much last fall.

Thanks in advance!

I buy mine in Duluth, MN. Last year price was $65/flat. Have never found anything near TB that was reasonably priced. Ordering ahead saves time and ensures availability.

We have been stopping at Larry's Baits in Kakabeka Falls to pick up crawlers. I believe we paid around $65 for a flat last year. I usually send them a message through Facebook to make sure they save me a flat for pickup on my way through. They usually have several on hand so I probably don't need to even reserve any. They do like the foam container dropped off on your way back through which is no big deal so I do it as a courtesy.

Fleet Farm sells Canadian crawlers in a 250 count (1/2 flat) breathable plastic bag. Easy to transport and keep. Price was about equal buying them by the flat and there was no mess. Actually stated they were a product of Canada right on the package. The border guard really liked that.

Penock's in Nakina used to sell flats of worms. Pretty sure they still do. You need to call ahead and order them.

I agree with wickguy. The bait shop in Kakabeka Falls has great crawlers. Have been using them for 12 years. Price is competitive. I always call ahead, but I don't think it is typically necessary. The owner of the camp I fish west of there recommended that I use this supplier. Never disappointed.
