    I also like Presley's in Bartonville. great staff and always have live bait, plus an indoor archery, and a excellent hunting sections.
    There are some mom n pop bait stores near the Illinois River in Pekin that have a great live bait selection and that is where they make there money.
    Not sure if there are any live bait shops left in Bloomington.
    Clinton Lake there are two, Ol' Joes and the elderly lady on the edge of town. I support both of them when I fish Clinton.
    Shelbyville- there is a convenience store, gas station in a town just north of the campgrounds that always has a good selection of live bait. Sorry, its getting late, I'm sick, and too tired to dig up the names.
    HOI Crappie Club
    Where family and friends come to compete for a little more than bragging rights.

    Quick, someone teach me how to fish so I can win this tournament!!!

    You need to check out Mike's Tackle in Decatur. I swear he has $1,000,000 worth of tackle in a 500 sq. ft. building. Amazing.
    A person should learn something new every day!
