Hi, my name's Michele and I am the owner of Cast the Bait & Composting. I decided to start my bait shop in 2012 after spending a week searching for European Nightcrawlers (Big Reds) in my area. I checked various Wally Worlds, local gas stations near lakes, and a lake in my area which sells bait, but doesn't open before 10 am. I have one true passion, and it's fishing. It doesn't matter if it's from a boat, bridge, pier, jetty, bank, tree, sand or mud, I love to fish. 10°, 90°: it's all the same thing, uncomfortable, and it's worth it if I'm fishing.
