bait stores in nh
« on: Jan 06, 2013, 05:40 AM »
Thought this might be a useful thread to start.

Wondering if we can put a list of bait stores together.   I like to travel around but it gets difficult to find bait sometimes.   Or at least we probably go out of the way to make sure we have bait.  So far this year we have gone to...

Newfound bait in bristol.... open at 7 am very nice shiners and smelt.  $5.50 for shiners and 7.50 for smelt.

Alton circle grocery on rt 11 south of AB....  sells by 630 am ( probably early) same prices, bait wasnt as healthy and looked like the count was on the short side.   But nice you can get coffee, egg sandwich, gas and bait in one spot.

Taylors in madbury off rt 9.  Decent shiners good count and good variety of tackle.  Not sure of his hours.

Suds n soda greenland off rt 33.  Havent been this year but i bet they have bait now.  They are ok all around tackle and food.

Pelletiers in Jaffery, 1/4 mile east on 202 from the center. Smalls, mediums, larges, and extra larges ranging from 3.50 to 8.50 a dozen.
The ones I got yesterday were nice and lively. Also plenty of gear and cold weather clothes too. Open 7 days not sure the hours.

I agree with Cold....I got bait at Alton circle yesterday and it didn't look great, and I thought the two dozen I got was light a couple.

In Northwood NH on Rt 4 The Country Market next to Heritage True Value Hardware has bait for sale $4.99/Doz shiners only and I believe they open 6:00am daily. They don't have many pinners, but med & large. Hope this helps.

À word to the wise about the Alton circle store, check your bait to make sure your getting what you paid for! I stopped in there this morning for a half doz smelt and when i started baiting traps i noticed two of my baits were shiners. >:(

Get bait sometimes at W Hall Sports in Bow, just off exit 2 on route 89. Also at Wildlife Taxidermy in Auburn.

I bought bait from marks bait shop yesterday and he had small medium and large shiners and was fresh out of suckers. Calling is your best bet. Nice people over there.

Morse Sporting goods in Hillsboro.Believe they'very got shiners 24/7. Steve's Sport shop in Dublin. Grove street baits in Antrim. Same deal with the shiners 24/7. I've got bait at all of them and they were all very lively. Hope it helps somebody.

Another shout out to Ossipee Bait and Tackle,  open 24/7, cheapest smelts I have found yet, plus he gives you a bakers dozen on any bait.  I've already got 9 holes punched....saving my free dozen for smelts!

Same thing this morning 2 smelt 4 shiners ??? I complained to the manager, but even she didn't really know the difference between smelts & shiners. Not that i like to nitpick, but when i travel ten miles out of my way every morning just to get smelts, I want what i pay for!

Anyone know if Amylynns
 at Alton bay has smelts?
