Rickster 0 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Brave man buying bait from a servo Did that once and once only, $22 for a small bag of cockles that were'nt even Goolwa ones. That was a couple of years ago now. Things we do just to get out for a fish hey. :woohoo: In answer to your question, most servo's nearer to our coast lines have some bait, i think.

Rollas 2 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I remember the Glenelg boat ramp machine. I would guess that vandalism would be the main reason they don't do it any more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
