The Red Tops and Goose Hummocks of the world are considered local. Local because they are privatly owned and opperated.
Sometimes they get to big for their britches and when that starts to happen the first thing out the window is customer service.
When I started fishing the beaches I always went to the baitshack he had the best hours and his bait was always the freshest.
Many other local shops are not cutting the cake. Frozzen sand eels and an attendent telling me that they work better than fresh dead is not something I'm ready to deal with after driving 6 miles in 2 hours down rt 6A
Privatly owned b&t's should pick their position in the crowded marketplace and marry it. If it fresh bait you do, do it across the board (brindye), if its hard baits stock them floor to celling.
There are two types of shops; ones that have it all and ones that have the best price.
