A Small Shop on a Big Lake
Landing Point is a little roadside bait shop a few minutes from the ramp. We started small, and we've stayed small on purpose — it's just easier to know our regulars by name and answer the phone before the second ring.
Whether you're a local who fishes every weekend or a visitor renting a houseboat for the week, you'll get the same friendly hello, the same honest answer about where they're biting, and the same fresh bait scooped from the tank that morning.
Locals & Visitors Welcome

"Rented a cabin near Monticello and stopped in for minnows. They sent me home with a great tip and a fish story."
"I've been coming here for years. Honest pricing, fresh bait, and they remember my name. That's hard to find."
