A new online Bait Shop Locator from BoatU.S. Angler can help you find a bait and tackle shop near you or help you plan a fishing trip far from home.

Found online at http://www.BoatUSAngler.com/bait the free Locator allows anglers to search by state, zip code, regions, bodies of water, or the type of tackle used (salt or freshwater). Over 8,000 bait and tackle shops are listed in 50 states as well as the Canadian provinces.

Once you've found a bait shop, the Locator will also let you know the availability of services such as guides, charters and weigh stations, and supplies such as ice, fuel, fishing licenses, groceries, as well as any discounts offered to BoatU.S. Angler members.

To help anglers get the most out of their fishing, BoatU.S. Angler also offers a free online Fishing Guide and Charter Locator, Fishing Tournaments Calendar and Fishing Show Calendar.
