Bait shop near gilford

[fatbass]

I just rented a house on winni for the big derby. I have not fished winni in probably 15 years. Can anyone recommend a decent bait shop in the area? Gonna fish for trout and cusk. Last time I went up we used a shop in Alton. Any help can be paid back with cold beer or venision chili if you want to stop by the portable shanty in the area on the weekend.

Thanks everyone. I rented on the water close to ellacoya restaurant. I might have butchered the spelling

you can usually get bait at the circle where 28 and rte 11 come together the gas station right there has shiners and smelt while they last.

for where you're at, alton will be closest place.

as for martel's... i just went there on sunday to check in a deer. come to find out, they don't check deer anymore. or turkeys.. inside, it looked like a bomb went off in there. stuff scattered all over the place. piles of old shelves, scrap wood, outboard and other types of parts everywhere. and outside, phew.. what a dump. old outboard engines and parts everywhere, snow plows, and just junk all over the place. looks more like sanford and son over there now. it's a dump. definitely not what you would call a sporting goods shop anymore, which is a real shame. if old man martel could see the place now, he'd be spinning in his grave.
