I'm sure the can be kept alive in a fish tank in a cool garage or bsmt.
I catch huge killies in may by a creek near my house and set up a 20 gallon tank and they last all summer.
As long as the watet is cool and properly air rated I don't see a problem.

I guess it all depends upon the profit to be made. Doubt it very much the person is going to sell herring to break even. Plus would have to open early and close later.

I live near Fins and Furs bait shop on rt23 (mentioned in the last post). It's a small shop and is still trying to get stocked up with a good selection but the owner is cool and it should be a great place, especially for those who fish the Newark Watersheds in the future.

If you go back to the original topic and see all the discussion it really does show what a huge gap is left now that Lebanon Bait is no longer around. I grew up in that area and have gone there forever, they were great - sorry to see them gone. Hopefully someone opens a shop in that vicinity.
