I just found out that Tropicland Marina in Dedham has closed for good.
I frequent that place throughout the year and didn't know they were not doing so well. They will be missed, as they were the only boat/bait/tackle/repair shop in the area. I know Decathalon Sports store has tackle, but there's something to be said for the personal touch, and the knowledgable staff.
My list of tackle/bait shops is getting shorter, and I NEED to fish.
Best of luck to the staff, and I wish them well.
