thank u crossroads and schroon lake
« on: Mar 01, 2012, 10:00 PM »
I went to Schroon on Wednesday by myself. Stopped at Crossroads Bait shop and what a pleasure. Not only did they have the right bait and food but the son (sorry I forgot his name) told me exactly where to get lakers and salmon. I have never been to this lake and he was my only guide.

After 5 hrs on the ice I got my first (and only) flag. After three runs, and my heart pounding through my chest, I got my first laker throught the ice. 23" and it was a beautiful fish.

Since this is my first laker through the ice I am completley stoked. We must all suppport our local bait shops. Without this board and Crossroads I would not have stood a chance.

Yes, Crossroads is a top-notch establishment. Helpful and cheerful staff, they start your day out right with the way they take care of you. Below are some other bait shops that I also would like to acknowledge for the excellent way they treat customers, and the bait is always very healthy as it is at Crossroads.

Country Pets - Hudson Falls
Beach Road bait and tackle - Lake George.

Mike and the rest of the Crossroads staff have always been very helpful.  Also have some great clothing buys upstairs.  Love to stop there for breakfast/lunch and converse with some of the locals.  Want a real treat - get one of their 1/2 subs for lunch w/some macaroni salad.  The 1/2 sub is larger than most regular subs purchased elsewhere.

Could not agree more.  The Wests are great people and Crossroads is THE place for sandwiches, gear, and bait.
