I am the new owner of Alton Bay Bait and Tackle in Alton at 404 Main Street, Alton Bay, NH 03810. We are now open. We have a facebook page and are on the Alton Community Forum.
All the best Erik! The demise of small "mom n pop" shops always saddens me regardless of their location. Generally services and expertise are available there that no big box will ever be able to provide. I worked part time at one of our local shops for many years and know the challenges. Our failure to patronize magnifies the inherent demands of that business.If I were closer you'd see me frequently. You NH guys, make sure you take care of Erik!
I’m glad this shop is back open. Last year I had to resort to getting my bait at AJ’s in Meredith as I live in the Weirs.I went in to get a dozen shiners specifically for 12 cusk traps for my son and I, only to get to the lake and find 11 and one so small it wasn’t even worth putting it on the hook. I was so pissed, I know times are tight and bait was tough last year but...WTH! I haven’t been back nor will I ever.
