Title: Same question different year
Post by: Granby on Jan 12, 2019, 08:00 AM

I frequent TAGS for bait when I have a chance to leave Hartford and Head home.

Where would I get live bait in the CT Northwest corner ?

Thank you

Still river outfitters and northwest sportsman in Winsted.  There’s another guy in Winsted that sells bait on the way out of town.

Thank you, that's good to know. I traveled a bit East to Joe's Bait in Windsor Locks. He was a nice guy, has a good supply of shinners.   Cash or check only. I was glad to support his business.

Jim's bait on Rt.44 between Norfolk and Canaan. The shop heading out of Winsted is Outdoor Artistry.

Thanks couldn’t remember the name of Glen’s shop there.  He’s great... always full of helpful info!

Danny’s Bait in Torrington always does it for me! No thrills, but great live bait and he’s open everyday but Tuesday at 5 am I think. Shiners, roseys, spikes are almost always in stock. Call him, real nice guy.

I go to Northwest Sportsman. Always have shiners and always a pleasure going in there.
