Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
That stinks, That is the main reason why we as sportsman need to support our LOCAL shops. If your tackle shop doesn't have something, ask them if they can get it! Sometimes it's OK to wait for something that you want. The big box stores are shutting all of the mom and pop shops out of business and that is also hurting the local economy. We no longer have a shop here in town and it stinks. I wish my wife would let me open one...
There is a different location in Easthampton that is going to carry bait.
Its just crappy in the economy when you know you can get something for sometimes 25% less somewhere else. Its a sad fact, Conglomerates rule the economy.The one thing you can't get at the big boxes though that you can get at a mom and pop bait shop is advice on where to fish and how to fish what your buying. That advice is worth the trip and extra $ most of the time.
Too bas this one was not due to the economy, but bad bookkeeping that the ATF wasn't too thrilled about.
Thats what I heard. Either way though it was a good little shop, decently well stocked, opened at 6 on the weekends, and the owners always took good care of their regulars. Sad that its been 86'ed.
