Hey guys, I come up to the poconos area from NJ to ice fish all the time. I like to fish Promised Land a lot and sometimes Shohola. However, there are like no bait shops in the area I'm from. I usually stop at JC's in Gouldsboro on my way up but it is pretty far out of the way for me if I'm going to Promised Land. Was just wondering if there are any bait shops that carry the usual just like shiners, fatheads, waxies etc. that are a little closer to Promised Land. Been trying to look it up on maps but not having much luck. Thanks a ton.
It kind of depends on which way you are traveling in. I-380? I-84? There is a little store right by the park that says they have bait but I don’t know what they have. Hunters Gallery is in Lake Ariel and has a good selection of bait and not too far.
Depending on how far South you are coming from Mikes in Nazareth is my usual go to. Just west of 33 on 191.
Come up 402 to rt6 and hit Wallenpaupack Sport Shop. About 20 minutes from both lakes and open at 7am. They’ll have everything you need but $$$$.
