Limited winter hours at the Hook House in Toms River, but Dennis and crew continue keeping bait in the shop for folks looking to get out into the open rivers and streams. White perch on the Toms River has folks shaking the winter cobwebs.

Dennis at Hook House Bait & Tackle is closed on Mondays, open periodically during the week for folks looking to gear up for white perch. Last week Dennis reported back to me that Doug Johnson got son Mikey into a white perch on the Toms, adding that took the young warrior “two dozen bloods, 20-degree weather, a week of trying, staying up late on school nights,” to get ‘er done.

The Hook House Bait & Tackle is closed on Mondays, open periodically during the week. On Sunday (before the shop closed in the early afternoon) Dennis said they had five dozen bloodworms left, but I do believe they’re working hard to keep bloods in stock all winter for folks looking to score white perch in the Toms.
