There are sevral bait shops around the lake I always go to Bridgeview but there are others. As far as a guide the only one I know is Ron Boylan and he is well worth the price for a trip, I hired him for a day in July sevral years ago and had a great time and cought plenty of fish. The day before I fished on my own and ended up with just a couple next day with him and ended up with a 6 gal. bucket full.
