wvmedic Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Heading up to the Wolseley Bay on July 22nd. Need to buy a flat of nightcrawlers on the way up, I've checked E&R Tackle. They only sell by the dozen. Can someone please tell me where I can buy a flat? Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bow slayer Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 might be a bit out of the way but you can gets flats at Trans Can bait in Lavigne,Its about less than 30 minutes up 64 from Noelville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Here's a couple to check. It would all depend on timing coming through Ontario. I'll assume your crossing at Buffalo. These are really close to main Hwy you'll be on With all best to call ahead and order one in I used to bulk several flats at a time right from this wholesaler. only open Mon-Fri business hours but I think they still will sell 1 flat to walk in customers - cash and you have to make an appointment for pick up National Bait Inc 946 Lakeshore Rd E Mississauga ON 905-278-0180 Fishing World QEW going into Hamilton 2411 Barton E Hamilton, ON L8E 2W9 Bronte Outdoors ( I get mine from here now - They sell flats and by 100's) QEW in MIssissauga (you'll have to bypass 403 and take QEW to 427 to get to 400 highway) 121 Lakeshore Rd W Mississauga, ON L5H 1E9 Some others that might help True Canadian OutdoorsOn 400 north just outside Toronto at the Bass Pro Mall 3175 Rutherford Rd Concord, ON L4K 5Y6 The Bait Bucket 230 Innisfil St #1 Barrie, ON L4N 2N1 Huronia Bait 1721 Heron Dr Waubaushene, ON L0K 2C0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 The Bait bucket is about 5 mins off the highway, give him a ring I'm sure he could help you out. I wouldn't give a cent to the guy at the OnRoute past Teston Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvmedic Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks everyone, yes I will be crossing at Buffalo. Sorry I didn't say that when I first posted. I will call the places posted when I get home. I changed plans yesterday, was going to Kipawa but Momma doesn't want to be that far in the bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adempsey Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 There's also Pagonis Live Bait. They are wholesalers as well, but I think they will refer you to a relative that owns a shop near by. Wherever you go, make sure to pre-order your flat. I forgot one year and managed to get a flat, but half of the worms turned out to be dead. It was also really gross going through the flat to recover the ones still alive!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Just curious and sorry for the side-step but how many worms in a flat and how much does a flat cost? Dan O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvmedic Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Oggie, no problem. 500 nightcrawlers per flat, I've so far been quoted from 60 to 100 dollars for a flat. I did just get off the phone with the lodge owner, he gets his bait in on Thursday's from Trans Can bait in Lavigne. So he is going to get me a price of a flat for me, so he can have it there when we get there. I called them direct and the nice lady on the phone quoted me 75 dollars with tax and a 2 dollar deposit on the flat it is approximately $86.50.
