Does anyone know of any tackle shops in Rhody that stay open late, like 8:00? I was going to pick up some eels thursday night but so far quaker lane and breachway are closed by that time.

Thanks,

Kip

You could try Captain Dons in C-Town but 8pm is really pushing it this time of year

Should be able to keep them alive for several days with this cool weather. I'd just buy them a day ahead...

Or fish plugs :D

Yup, what Spence said. The one tackle shop that I know of that sells eels in Western MA was running out. I knew I was fishing Wednesday night so I bought mine on Sunday. Just keep them drained and cold and they'll survive.

Thanks John, I just called Captain Don's and he said that he would put them out for me on Thursday if I call ahead.

Try Wildwood Outfitters on Main St. in Wakefield. Current hours are Mon-Thu 7-7, Fri 7-8, Sat 7-6 Sun 7-3.

:laughs: kudos to dons in charlestown ri always saves chum/ flats or whatever you want....nice guy with interesting stories.....jim:laughs:

Captain Don's is awsome!

Exactly where is Don's, anyway? I'm familiar with the area, but have only seen the BReachway B&T.

rt 1 westbound in charlestown

to clarify, although you are heading in a westbound direction, it is Rt. 1 South. Capt D is at the corner of Rt. 216. Can't miss it.

I have an old cooler with 2 airators in it. I have kept eels for a month. You need to change the water once a week....especially if you feed them. I feed dried shrimp krill I get at Walmat. They stay fine....especially at this time of year.

oops

If I'm going south, is it on the right or do I need to head back north?

:happy: hey kippy, you will see him on the right goin south...at the rt 216 junction...there are kyaks out front.....jim

thanks Jim.

Also it is set back about 300 feet from rt 1 on an access road, so just remember that it is about a mile past the stop light for east beach/west beach road..(no spots down there :hihi: ) and after those lights, you'll drive past Glaopogus (a store) and then a boat dealership... Don's is just past the boat dealership-

thanks Eben..should be easy to find..

hey jim, i'm joe lavin's grandson, why'd ya haul the boat for the year? the bft are off s. county:D hopefully fish them this weekend in his skiff or whaler. heveta get some cash to load a reel with spectra for the things. i mean a spinner, i've got some 6/0s ready to troll with sat.

Stay away from Kenport on the way to Matunick Beach..the owner is a total A##hole.
