Hello,

I live in Cambridge, MA and I am looking for a bait and tackle shop close by where I can buy eels.

Thanks,
Steve

There isnt any store around Cambridge that sells eels. If you are willing to drive to Waltham, there is a store that sells eels or you can go to Everett (Pete Santani's)

Now, I'm no business barron, but if I was to open an eel store, I doubt that the Cambridge area would be high up there on my list. For some reason, I just don't think the demand would be too high, and I think I'd have to sell a lot of eels to make rent

Ok enough of being a jerk for me. I don't have a clue where to find eels. I live in Norwood. The best bait and tackle store around here is Wal-Mart. Now that is weak:fishslap:

Sportsmans Den -Quincy
Bob's Bait Shack - Wintrhop

Or several restaurants in China Town. It can help you out in a pinch or late night when evryone else is closed.

Thanks guys.

Bonefish - never thought of Chinatown before - great suggestion.

bonefish, those eels from chinatown arent american eels. and also those eels u see in the market are freshwater snakes!

Dynasty has american eels in the window swimmin around.
:D

Also, American Eels are found in fresh/brackish/salt.

too huge...
dynasty is no more, likwid

No more Dynasty?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
:crying:

however, man, u will be in for a surprise. my dad is opening a neew restaurant... and his workers are former employees at the dynasty...the foods will be good like they were.;) :D

Dim Sum?

I love dim sum:)
Where is your dad's restaraunt going to be Notaro....I'll come check it out sometime

not yet, he is renovating now. it is going to take time. it is on the beach street. the exact address is unknown.

If you've got time, get a minnow trap and toss it into the Charles or Mystic. My first try in the Parker yielded over 20 in about 2 hours using an old SB rack. Fished all night and had plenty left over for skins and rigging.

I live right near the Charles. I should try that.

Thanks

Hey Notaro, can your dad hook up some catering? I think the turnout would be 200% greater at just about any meeting with 50 lbs of bonless spareribs and some scorpion bowls!!:hihi: :think:

Get a 15-20 gallon tote and an aquarium pump. Load up next time you get eels and keep reserve at your house. Comes in handy at 3 am . Plus you can cull out the smaller ones. A couple changes of water and they won't smell. Been caught changing water in my condo complex. Got some strange looks. Where did you get your eels? My spare bedroom!

My girlfriend would not stand for that. :( I am lucky that she can deal with my fishing stuff taking up the spare bedroom.

In the same boat steve...
eels have been tried.. and were veto'ed..
oh well...

Get a bunch and keep them at your house. a 15-20 gallon tote with fishtank areator will do fine

The eels live fine...
I may not if I try that :smash: :D

Decathlon Sports formerly MVP just started carrying eels. Peeked in the tank, too small for me but nice to know.(1.50each,ouch)

if my dad succeeds, maybe we can do that, bigmike:D

Arlington Bait Shop on Mass Ave
