>Kevin Fowler has a song called "Beer, Bait, and Ammo". He's from Texas, and wrote the song about a certain kind of establishment one finds in Texas... but I'm sure I've been in the same kind of place in the U.P. I'll post the lyrics if I can find them...

Haven't heard that song, but the title reminds me of the bar down the road which is just down from the bridge where everyone fishes when they're not going hunting, LOL!

Found it!

Beer, Bait, and Ammo
(Kevin Fowler)

Well now early one day, I was on my way, to my favorite fishin’ hole
I was thinking I could sure use another bottle of booze
My baits a’ runnin' a little low
And a box of 12 gauge would be all the rage
When I’m all liquored up and I'm feelin’ good
Well just down the road there was a place called Bubba’s
Man he’s got the goods

(chorus)
And the sign said beer, bait, and ammo, yeah
They got everything in between
Yeah they got anything any old beer drinkin'
Hell raisin', bona fide redneck needs
They got your fishin' hooks, they got your dirty books
They got your rebel flag on the wall
The sign said beer, bait, and ammo, yeah
You ask me they got it all!

Well now when I walked in I can’t even begin
To describe just what I smelled
Lord, was it the catfish bait, or something Bubba had ate
Was it those pickled eggs on the shelf
Yeah with a toothless grin he said, "boy step right on in
Make yourself right at home!" I said, "no, no, no thank you man
Just a 12 pack of cans, and I’ll be good to go!"
