hey steve on the eel vending. how about an old soda machine that you put money in and slide 1 bottle out at a time. remember them. the eels would have nice cold water and airation. no muss no fuss. the eels could be put in airated cylinders.
24 hr bait shop would be great.

Being from Long Island there is a tackle store in Mastic Long island. If I remember the name right it is Mr B's, they have a bait vending machine outside thier shop. The machine sells worms-eels and mummies-squid-clams. it used to be my late night eel safety valve. You would feed money into it and eels would come slithering out into a plastic bag you needed to hold up to the dispenser. machine was the size of a soda machine maybe a little bigger.

A sling shot for launching the offering WAY THE FRIG OUT THERE at certain spots or on windy days.

Would a skeet sling have enough sack to send something, say, 100 + yds out there ?

We got some spots here that would be sick if that could be figured out. Maybe mount something on the back of the truck ?

Come on ! :D

So, a 24/7(April 1 till Nov 1) B&T with a 24/7 Deli/Coffee/Convenience, and a large parking lot for the quick nappers..
So, where would be the best cape location for this venture?

eel machine
 
I buy live eels from a machine. Tackle Box in Keyport, NJ. They come in a styrofoam container. Don't ask me how they get air, cuz it has a lid without holes. At $5 for 2 it's a last resort, but it seems to work.

I don't see any craftman's plugs on any b&t store.
Thermal wetsuit for clammings would be nice.
More clams and seaworms for cod fishing in winter.

Most shops are WAY too small to carry everthing. I like it ALL, but I know it is not practical. A jumbo cabala's-size shop that I can spend ALL day in is what I would like.

I would like to see a FULL selection of custom and stock rods, every reel made, all models of line and pack the store with everthing fishing. Also I would like to see a full range of outdoor clothing and boating gear.

A big screen high-def surround sound TV playing fishing videos around the clock.

A mount room with skin mounts of every local species of fish in that area.

A starbucks inside the store

FISH-ON babes as store clerks (dressed in show attire)

Complete bait selection live and frozen...everthing imaginable.

That is what I would LIKE...but I am willing to live with my neighborhood shop that can get what I need.

hours: 24/7 364 (Xmas off, that is it)

how abt a fish cleaning station? after u weight a fish, u clean it. it keeps it fresher.

Beer, beer, and more beer.
PS I love the blatant pork roll egg and cheese references, going to see Ween in two weeks, hope those Joisey Boys play that one.
Later hours, later hours, etc.
Hate calling ahead for the late nite pickups.
Later
Rick
