Has been gone for a few years. If you need live bait its Haddrells or Crosby’s.

Wow thanks
I will have to say, that oddly enough, I miss the place. I even sat down at the bar and had a beer a time or two. I always felt out of place though.

I never sat down at the bar but everytime I went in there for bait I felt out of place, perhaps they had a knack for making people feel like that if they’re no longer in biz!

Not familiar with this place at all…but just curious what would make local fisherman feel out of place at a place selling bait and tackle??

Yep, I remember that place, same here, that place was awkward in some ways, it was like a tackle shop/ neighborhood hole in the wall bar. I think just the vibe was weird.
I always believed it was a front for something…

illegal bait selling operation was my inclination…or at least it smelled like it…Mrs Bonzo called the old guys sitting in the back drinking beer at all hours “pirates”…she might not have been far off…

I heard they held fiddler crab fights on the weekends and sold genetically modified mud minnows.

yep, even at 7am the penetrating, inebriated stares from the smoky bar made me feel like the guy in wild west movies who walks in and the piano stops and everybody goes quiet… i think maybe they were just pissed that i wasn’t eye candy, but in any case my respectful nods were never reciprocated.

You guys should have walked up to the bar and ordered a double Mud Minnow, straight up! They would have averted their glances, when they saw that you weren’t scared of them! Maybe even told you which Fiddler was the Ringer, in the next fight[:0]
bud heavies and marlboro reds, i’m sure…
up next, genetically-modified fiddler VS rooster grudge match!
I heard it was illegal to fish with genetically modified fiddlers, but perfectly legal to enter them into smokey bar fiddler fights!!! [:0]
A bad day fishing is much better than a good day at work.
I agree with everyone else. The few times I went in there I got a bad vibe from the patrons. They thought it was absolutely hilarious when I went in one time for bait and they didn’t have any. Last time I went.
Speaking of hole in the walls, who remembers getting mud minnows at zero dark thirty from North Area Tackle? I felt like I needed to be packing heat at times in there.
I liked it. Maybe because I became a regular. The ownery would unlock the door for me even if she wasnt open. She would also make sure is didnt cheat me out of the dozen MM, either by size or Qty. Unlike the place down the street (left un-named).

Ha! Good ole north area tackle. My dad took me in there around 6am one morning to get bait and there was a guy leaning up against the wall by the front door puking in the drain. I was probably 10 or 11. That was over 20 years ago now. It’s funny the little things you remember like that.
