My dad is in the Espanola area this week for a fishing trip. He called this morning and said the local bait stores are charging anywhere from $3-$4 for a dozen of worms. Has anyone else seen an increase in prices like this?

Does anyone know of a good bait shop between the Soo and Espanola that sells leeches by the pound? Found a place in Espanola but they only sell by the dozen and they wanted $5 a dozen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
