What's the bait shop going to do when there are 15 guys lined up to get bait. Social Distance Seriously though. Can't wait. Last ice trip was last weekend on Champlain. The Chu gear is ready to go and the water temp in Boston Harboris already in the 40's. Flounder bite should be on when it hits 50.
That's a serious consideration. They may not even be allowed to stay open. That's why I kept my ice fishing bait tank going and put my trap back out. I'm getting restocked now.I also have sent my boy out to pick nightcrawlers. We don't expect to need to buy bait or tackle for the duration.
took a walk along a favorite stretch of mine yesterday and found some fresh smelt washed up. about a dozen or so in a small area. might be a good sign if it actually opens for fishing. I think I will call the ranger office tomorrow and ask. I will share what I discover here.
In CT, baitshops and other non essential businesses must close by 8pm Monday.
They are still kind of open. You can order things from upcountry and pick them up and make appointments for bigger purchases or trade ins. Think they said purchases over like $500 would get you in the store.
are bait wholesalers essential and open. no supplier to the shops no bait in the shops. idk what most of these people will do on opening day with no shiners.
see everyone on may 9th
Lets sneak into the canal instead.
luckily for me I dont need to park just need to walk 400ft from my porch. I can sneak you in easily
