Someone asked for this

Thanks Jimfish!!!

UPDATED.......

Hopefully a little easier to locate a shop near your town!!!

FYI...also, I just discovered that correct phone number for Crystal Lake Bait and Tackle in Ellington is 875-3773...not 875-7377.

Naugatuck Valley Sports 141 South Main St. Beacon Falls,Ct. 06403 (203)723-4868 is closed.

i dont know it but does anyone know chads bait in bolton's number. i ahve gotten bait there before but i never know when they are open or if they have bait.

Lou s Boat Basin Seaview Avenue Bridgeport

Updated today....thanks guys.

ANY OTHER CHANGES?

Outdoor sport shop in West Haven is now Salty Dog Bait and Tackle.

Updated today....thanks for the info guys!!!


ANY OTHER CHANGES ???

were only in saybrook not brigedport

Ace Hardware,Lee`s.

Clarke and Clarke in South Windsor is going out of business also.

I don't see any activity at Bantam Bait n Tackle these days.

Saw some guys on South Bay. Store was not open again. Doesn't look promising.

Every time I've driven by Dean's since his passing several months ago, it has been closed.

The Bantam B&T is a sorry story... closed today (Sunday 12/30) at 8:45am. There was the South Bay, full of ice-fisherman, so it seems the owner here is more interested in sleeping in than making money. Best to call ahead, I learned this the hard way.

I'll update this post later today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the info guys!!!!

This is what I know about Bantam Bait and it's not much.
There's Fed-Ex delivery stickers on the front door (they're a notice trying to deliver) with the date 12/24 and 12/26 on them.

I've driven by there alot between Dec 22nd - Jan 1st, not ever a car or truck parked there but someone shovels the little walkway to the front door.

There's a feed store etc in the same "shopping area" and maybe I'll stop by this weekend and ask if they know what's going on?

Blockhead over and out.

Skippers is open...Sometimes!!

Dean,s in Marbledale off Rt. 202 is open Fri-Sun. Call for hours 868-0713

UPDATED......

Dean,s in Marbledale off Rt. 202 is open Fri-Sun. Call for hours 868-0713

Is this the same Dean's as the one listed in Milford?

Capt.Ray....

updated today...thanks for the heads-up there!

Ken's in Groton burned down several months ago, but I heard a rumor they're trying to open in a new location. I'll see if I can find out where.
