yep cruised by just before 5 on derby morning...sign says opens at 6...not very helpful...im guessing get out of bed on derby morning and you will sell much more than you will on say tuesday morning when most are working...6 am is just too late for icefisherman...especia lly on derby day...was a self serve cooler outside but didnt even have water in it!   ::)  I sure do miss Dadstacklebox...now that was a baitshop that was there for its customers...maybe a little too much !

The fishing hole in buxton.

not trying to give him a bad rap...thats why i hadnt mentioned a name...just a little constructive criticism . Team Maine can be very demanding of our bait guys...we are hardcore and expect them to be as well.

thats who I thought it was .  I haven't been there this year ,But have had good luck with them in the past .  Dad's was always the place to go . I don't get over that way very much ,But when I did I always stopped in to Dad's . Even just to say hi and see what was going on .

 Those 4am bait shops are few and far between .  It's always a good idea to get your bait the night before if your an earlybird.

Your right Scott..
 I have heard that he has great bait..
great smelts..both fresh and salt. And good hardy shiners at a good price.

I love the fishing hole. It's too bad you got a bad example of it. I usually go the day before also. I know the guys over there work hard, and I'll bet they do wish they had been there to get your bait and your money. Their prices are good and they always throw me a couple extras or a jig head, anyway I know they are full-time owners who have a lot invested so I just don't want them to get a bad rep...the internet is a powerful thing, once something is posted on the web...it never goes away and that can really hurt a business. Just my $.02  :)
