Bait?

[CatfishDan]

Can someone tell me where the bait shops for live bait are around the Greenup Dam or Portsmouth? Thanks in advance.

I think there is a place in Ironton called the Tackle Box.

Yep, Southern Ohio Outdoors, right in the middle in Wheelersburg....if your coming from portsmouth and going to greenup, get off the exit that takes you to the middle of town...bear to the right like your heading toward kroger, and Southern Ohio Outdoors will be on the left....I'm almost positive they have live bait. They have just about anything you want.....I've been in there a couple times and they are pretty helpful

Thanks guys! We went to Ironton to the Tackle Box. Pretty nice place and a variety of bait to choose from. Ohio Outdoors was closed by the time we got down there! The fishing wasn't that great due to the storms. Didn't get to fish the dam but we moved north on RT 52 to Aberdeen Ohio and fish from the boat ramp but got nothing but snaggs and lost bait. So far the Ohio River has a sour spot in my heart!
