A Store That
Knows These Waters
Croton Bait & Tackle has been a part of the Croton-on-Hudson community for years — right here on North Riverside Avenue, steps from the Hudson River. We're not a big-box store with a fishing aisle. We're your neighbors, and we know what species run these waters, what bait works when, and what gear actually holds up out here.
That local knowledge is the difference between a forgettable afternoon and a trip you'll talk about all winter. Come in, ask us anything, and leave with exactly what you need — nothing more, nothing less.
