Our Story

Built on the Water, Rooted in the Community

Mooney's Live Bait has been a trusted stop for anglers in New Gloucester and across Southern Maine for over two decades. What started as a small operation by the water grew into the go-to bait shop for locals and visitors alike.

We know these waters because we fish them too. Every minnow, worm, and shrimp we sell is chosen with one question: will it get you biting? That standard — and the relationships we've built with the fishing community — is what sets us apart.
