After reading the Gander thread... I was wondering what you guys think the best non chain store tackle shop is? In your area.. or that you have been to in our state.
-
Niagara Outdoors, Witmer road in North Tonawanda. Jeff (owner) is BEYOND knowledgeable on hunting and fishing. Great selection, if he doesn't have it he will get it.
-
When I'm out west, B & E Tackle just this side of Rochester, up here Hands down, Jimmy Dence's place All Season's Sports! When on Oneida I go to App's he filled the walls this summer, plus hand tieing thousands of jigs! Walls are full of jigs!
-
Cant think of any left. There is one upstairs in the Old Forge Hardwear Store, but it is expensive and mostly fly fishing stuff.
Other than an occasional marina that sells minnows and worms I really cant think of any.. :'( :'( :'(

THE BAITMAN IN WILSON; NIAGARA OUTDOORS TOO

1000 islands bait is always a good stop on the way through Alexandria bay.
-
I go to Fish307.com in Queensbury NY. It is near exit 20 of I-87. Jeff and the staff are very aware of what it takes to catch fish and fisherman. 8)

Hey Snagger, I was going to say B&E Tackle.
Next to the giant windmill on rt104 in Ontario, a few miles E of rochester.
Unlike the chains you can buy ice tackle throughout the ice season.
I have never been let down there.

That guy is by far one of my favs...I'll never walk into Screwy Louis again, its a little outta the way but worth the drive....very fair prices for minnows.....

Woody's gets my vote too. Always stop there when heading to Sandy Pond and Chaumont. Also a big fan of Thousand Islands Bait and Tackle.

-

Spanky's without question.

I will go with tank woodys or all season sports , appts for bait when ice fishing oneida
-
Chock up a vote for fish307 in Queensbury. Good bunch of guys. Even better bunch of guys when they recognize your face as with most shops. A little loyalty goes a long way.
-
Nice guys, With the economy in shambles I am going to try to buy as much from non chain stores as I can. Even If it costs more. Local knowledge and service go along way and If it costs me more it's worth it.
-
Tell em where ya Got It in Wayland.
Shirley has all the bases covered, including ammo and trapping supplies.
-
I agree with Rg and Snagger in Rochester B&E. they certainly are better then Dicks and even have things the chains don't have. I all ways try and buy from the small local guy.I will have to stop at Apps and check out their jigs.
-
Tell em' where ya got it shop in Wayland!!!!! That place rules has anything you could think of from tackle to poles to guns to traps.

Is that the place near Gunlocks? Wow have not been there in years.. I will have to stop in the next time I am in the area.
Fish307 in this area has my vote> They have a real good ice fishing lure assortment. The best that I have seen yet.
-
yup fish 307 ;D
-
they certainly are better then Dicks
You can't even consider the Dick's here a tackle shop. The one in Madison caters to the bike riding sports playing crowd. Their guns and fishing stuff are crammed upstairs out of the way as to not offend the liberals. Phil and Son is the bait shot I frequent here. Located inside an old Harley Dealer they have ample space for all their jigs, rods, reels, guns, ammo, etc. They are also a drop off site for getting my tipups repaired or re-lubed. I buy almost all my stuff their.

I forgot about woody's at the port, I buy most of my crappie stuff from them in april! I always try to support the little guy if I can!

Hey!! What about MICKEY'S N.Syracuse!!! They have everything and more a lot of old stuff to looking at. I all most forgot, Oneida river bait and tackle on county route 12 in Pennellville, they have very good live bait and there tackle is mostly for panfish,Bass,Walleyes.
Frank
Heading out to hit the river right now!!
-
I always liked Thorne brothers...but it is quite a drive from NY. Good thing I go back to visit family once a year.
-
Do they sell sandwiches?
Yes, and cold Beer. and any fishing tackle you need for the Salmon and steelhead run
-
There arent any left in my little village outside of Buffalo. Used to be Dustys Bait and Tackle. And Outdoor Cabins. They are LONG gone. Gotta get closer to the water to have any success in the tackle shop biz.
Only tackle shops ive been in in the last couple years are Slippery Sinker in Olcott. And i also take a ride over the border to Fishin Niagara right on the river near the peace bridge, and if im feeling really adventurous, Petes up in St. Catherines. All great places, all great people inside

You are right on the money with that comment. I had a friend that worked at Dicks for 3 yrs and at one time they were thinking of getting rid of guns. At the same time they cut the amount of space they were devoting to fishing and hunting and put more clothes in its spot.

FISH307 in Lake George lots of stuff to much my wife thinks

Yeah, Mickeys is definately deserving on this subject, nice place!
-
Where is Mickeys ?
-
theirs a gas station near thousand islands thats kicks butt!flyin arrow in east greenbush and slingerlands,ny are pretty decent as well.
-
There used to be a baitshop up near Yankton S.D. on Lewis and Clark lake above the Gavins Point Dam called appropriately THE DAM BAIT SHOP. They also have THE DAM FIREWORKS SHOP. Like cousin Eddy says "Where can I get some Dam bait" ;D
-
I forgot about mickeys , good guys and have good info ,thanks S.C.G. for the reminder !!
-
Mickeys is the best. just north of Church st on South Bay rd N. Syracuse.
-
i go to mickeys also,

absolutely. I have been going there for 18 years. I agree with everything MILLERMANKT said and wonder how rainbow is still around :laugh:
-
i go to mickeys also,
I used to live 2 blocks from Mickeys. That is a great shop. And the place to go in the Syracuse area.
Now I am prejudiced towards FISH307 because I spend so much time there. (about 60 hrs a week)
-
Rainbow sports is a very unusual place kind of like most things on that area of the street. he does make custom walleye rigs and other lures if you care... no thx
-
I gotta go with apps. Rick is a good guy and can relate to my addiction to the walleyes ;) Always hooks me up during the hardwater season to!
-
apps? im a little slow today
-
I buy all my bucktail jigs from Mickey's. The guy does a great job on them. They usually have great live bait, too. Good guys to talk to. The "sonars" come from All Season Sports - only ones I will tie on!! Simplecarpieguy is right too - Oneida River Tackle has real nice bait!
