He was about the Fenwicks for sure, then G Loomis before he move onto Port Burwell for charter fishing. Yes, long time ago. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toaster Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Steve drove cabs for a minute. He picked me up years ago on my mail route. I told him I remember going there as a kid for bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

мормышка Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I would most likely close on Tues/Weds and stay open, even on holidays for the rest of the week. Even open at 6am for weekends, not 9am. Usually working people go fishing on days off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ct their prices are ridiculous, thought big box stores were suppose to be cheaper. I hate how most tackle shops don’t open till 9:00am and I wanna be on the water by 6am then they close at 5:00 and I work till 7. Used to be tackle shops were open by 7am or earlier. Many would have a pot of coffee brewing. They would also shut down early, so the owner could get in some time on the water. That does not happen in Niagara. I've thought about running a shop, but I'm getting too old for that, and the son has lost interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
