Places to get live shiners/minnows in North Jersey?
 

Hi all,

I am having a heck of a time trying to find a place to get live baitfish somewhere closer to Montclair, NJ than an hour's drive away. Anybody know of any bait shops that have live baitfish closer to Montclair/Clifton than a two-hour round trip away?

Many thanks in advance!

Meltzer's - Garfield

Totowa Bait & Tackle Shop in Paterson carries them as well.

I live in the same area and use both places mentioned above. Totowa opens earlier than Meltzers.

Other than Dows, do any north jersey shops carry herring anymore?

Franks in Wanaque usually has them. Fin Fur and Feathers on Rt 23 in Newfoundland has them sometimes.

fins n furs on 23 is a great shop. I've seen herring there before. If you ask him he'll get you whatever you need.
