I almost never buy live bait; especially in the summer. I got a trowel for earthworms and minnow traps and/or small hooks to catch baitfish.
I don't catch alewife in the lakes, but I have watched others do really good with a sabiki rig.
If all the baitshops close, we will survive. Some people might have to learn new skills, but we will survive.
