ICE SAFETY!  2/8/13 ~ The Derby starts tomorrow and with the snow that is expected today we want to warn all anglers of the potential danger out on the ice. Please beware of reefs, we have heard of many large ones that can be dangerous especially with the snow cover. Also, be aware of open water near Welch Island. A truck went through the ice yesterday in Center Harbor. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE USE CAUTION OUT THERE!!!   AJ & Brandi

Question about open water trolling of nightcrawlers.  The way I was taught I believe is the same way you do it. By pulling the fishing line through the crawler and having one hook in the head of the crawler and another in the tail of the crawler. If unread the law it says only one hook with one point. Just wanted to know what your view was on this. Thank you

I just scored a shappell 5500 widehouse portable from Aj's. My father had plans to order one for xmas but everywhere he checked was out of stock... he broke down and asked if another model would suffice or if I had any ideas who would have one in stock; a quick call to alan and the problem was solved. Thanks to ajs I got exactly what I wanted.  ;D

Hi all, just had to post this comment we recieved on our FB page this morning... we heard the story yesterday about AJ's "Perch" bucktail jig! The Laker jumped out of the hole to chase the jig as Tim was reeling it in to check his bait, unbelievable and SO awesome! Do we have a new way of fishing? haha  :o

So, I caved in this year and bought a Jet Sled 1 (the snow got too deep!). Always used my home made gear sled prior. After, maybe, 10 uses this season I devloped a small hole in one of the back corners. I emailed several suppliers looking for the wear bars that go on the bottom. Guess who I heard from?
Alan at AJ's Bait in Meredith. I sent him an e-mail through his website link. Literally, 5mins after I sent it I got a reply. He said he had one left and would get back to me first thing this morning to let me know how much it was.
First thing this morning came and he was Johnny on the spot! Put the wear bars on hold for me because I had a ways to drive. I walked in said I think you're holding something for me. She said oh yes Tom. Here they are!
He gave me a hell of a deal too. I won't tell you how much because we shouldn't expect a "deal" when spending our money in his shop.
Big Box "Pro" shops? Not for me....
Guys who bring their lunch to work in a brown bag like the rest of us is the way to go. Never have I had a bad experience at AJ's. From buying bait to asking stupid questions. He's a stand up guy.
And NO I do NOT work there or know him personally.....althoug h I wouldn't mind having a friend like him.

Cheers to the little guy!! You'll get my business from now on!!!

BUT...
It is the start of a new season now, we are receiving new products daily and we are changing the walls over to open-water.  We look forward to seeing many of you for open-water fishing and we are excited to hear from you all on MFF as well as our facebook page and website.

Thanks again all!  See you soon!

my best guess on this fish was 35-38 inches, weight 18-22 pounds. got the pic and released the brute. he looked like to be in good shape as he swam away.
got him on a bucktail jig tipped with cut sucker in about 40 fow.
thanks for the comments guys. it my personal best freshwater fish  but there's time to get another

Nice to know that someone has the chance to catch that brute.  ;) Props for the release. I know most people wouldn't do that, including myself.

thanks again fellas. I release everything I catch if they are unharmed. Big fish are very important to the health of a waterbody. as a fisherman, I too want to conserve the resource to the best of my ability.
 Those of you who keep them, it's all good too.

I would have thought that you would need to use a 12'' sucker to catch a laker like that! Big bait= big fish  :tipup:

big bait works well on tip ups but normally, i seldom use tipups. got em on a smallish bucktail with a piece of cut sucker I was using all day that i caught other fish with

1st day of the derby @ 6:30 am we walked in and not surprisingly your shop was full of those also looking for bait. However, we were in and out in minutes. Thanks for bait with such efficient service during what has to be one of your busiest days of the year.

The derby experience isn't the same for me without stopping by AJ's first! Got all the live bait I needed as well as my weekend license and a couple of other things. Thanks for running such a great shop AJ's crew!

Is it possible to ride a sled/atv to or near AJ's?
Can you get on the rail bed that is right there from the bay?
I frequent the store for bait but haven't had a hardside on the bay for several years. I used to walk up the hill to the old store. The new location would be a long walk.

Thank you AJ's Bait and Tackle!

Thank you for always providing us with the freshest live bait for the right price.   They have always help me with my fishing needs and gear in summer or winter.  They are very nice people who go above and beyond to help any fisherman who walks thru the door..

We appreciate everything you guys do for us!!   ;D
