H-Bar Bait and Game Fish, which offers a self-serve bait shop, as well as pond-stocking services, is located at 3212 W. Walker St. Herrington also is working to set up a vending machine, which will feature hooks, lures, bait, etc.
The bait shop is open 24 hours a day and is self-serve. Customers can scoop up their preferred bait, write out a receipt based on the posted prices, and drop the payment in the drop box at the shop’s office next door. Most customers bring their own buckets, but there are a few buckets for sale, if anyone needs an extra bucket, Herrington said.
In addition to the bait shop, the business also provides pond-stocking services, delivering tilapia, catfish, crappie, bass, perch, and minnows.
For more information, call Herrington at 254-522-4751.
