Bottomline is located directly across from the Erie Metro Park entrance.  Near the very southern end of the Detroit River and near Lake Erie.  Very good selection of bait including minnows, crawlers, and a large selection of local and regional tackle.  Minnows can be a problem in this area during the summer months as many of the bait shops catch their own supply - so call ahead.  They can also run low during the peak of the walleye run in April and May.        

Bottomline sells both Michigan and Ohio fishing licenses year round.  Ontario licenses are available February-April and take a couple days to arrive back at the store.  You can order them over the phone. 

Directions:  Easy to find.  From I75 take exit #29 and go east until you hit Jefferson Avenue.  Turn right (south) and Bottomline will be on your right side about 1.7 miles down Jefferson.  The bait shop is directly across from Lake Erie Metro Park.
