The staff of Lakeside Bait Shop, Boat Rental and Tackle are courteous, friendly and willing to help you get the best of your trip to Shabbona Lake. Since 1998, this has been a family operated business. On any given day you can find a Sands family member in the shop ready to assist you. Let’s start with Denny who as many of you know as the “expert” of Shabbona Lake. Denny has been highly involved in the Park and Lake since it’s beginning. You won’t find anyone who understands how to fish Shabbona Lake better than Denny. Now lets add in his son Clint who has taken over the day to day operations of the business. Clint literally grew up on Shabbona Lake and is a wealth of knowledge.
Denny has passed on his love of fishing to his children (Becky, Aaron & Clint) and grandchildren. Aaron and Clint both work in the bait shop along with Becky’s children (Christian and Anthony). This business is truly a family tradition that will carry on for generations.
Stop in and let us help you make your trip to Shabbona Lake all you expect it to be!
