to the new owner. Get ready for some long hours.

Stock quality stuff, carry breakaway clips, lots of braid, and mono, and fluro. hook up with a good source for Fresh Sand eels, there are a few who handle them correctly.... keep your eels lively.
Try and keep your price down on flats of worms... blows me away, the difference from one side of the bridge to the other on that price, and they all come out of the same supplier..... If I'm worming, I have a friend from off-cape grab me some on the way... they are usually bigger too... real snakes... maybe the guy that sells them to the shops plays favorites, I dunno....

Plenty of bombers, yo-zuri, etc. carry some first rate wood, have plenty of reel parts if possible, and carry some nice sticks and reels. Listen to your customers needs, consider some crazy hours, it might just pay off... and if you can't get a Dunkin Franchise in there, see if you can do Coffee and some packaged snacks.... might be profitable :huh: the town boards on the cape, in general, are a real bitch to work with tho..

Work Hard, best of luck, and hope it's a profitable venture for you overall

Does he have a partner called Neil?:laughs:

Sounds like it's gonna be a far cry better than the recently departed Nelsons of late (as in the past few years).

Were all those vintage amber reverse atoms that were hanging on the rafters included in the buy?

Congratulations!
The only thing I can add to this discussion would be maybe some better hours. Most times I don't get out there till after dark and leave before the sun comes up. Other than that Good luck.

Back when Emilo ran Nelsons it was a great place to hang out. I'm talking about before they moved into the barn...when it was upstairs over the bike shop. The sharpies would hold court and you could sit there and learn a ton about the secret little holes on The Back.
I don't expect that it will ever return to that state.
