Guys, '
Not to hijack this thread, but if there any tackle shop owners that I didn't speak to on Sunday night or Monday morning to get a report. Please e-mail me at MakoMike3333@yahoo.com with the name of the shop and your telephone number. I assume no one would mind some free publicity? :doh:

If anyone's reading this, I would appreciate it if you could stock fiddler, hermit, and lady ("white") crabs.

Right now I have to drive to Crabs R Us on Long Island or bug Clammer ( :hihi: ) for 'em.

Thank you, that is all. :hee:

I have to give kudos to the guys at Saltwater Edge. Never actually been in the store since I live in Long Island but on a couple of occassions they were the only guys who had what I needed or was looking for. They are also always willing to take the time with you on the phone and go over your order and help you out. That's why they were my fist call when I recently purchased another reel.

Weekapaug was one of the shops I went to and they were once a sponsor here on S-B. Things happened that I will no longer go there and things happened that would prevent Weekapaug from being a sponsor again... Not at the fault of S-B ...

Fortunately, Don opened his shop down in Stonington and it is not the far away, and he is a sponsor :hee: ....

QL if Im in absolute (really really really need something) Dave and Steve there are AWESOME! The young lady is nice too :hihi:

SWE if Im anywhere in the vacinity :uhuh: Gotta stop in :hihi: I need sili skin...

Captain Dons :uhuh: The captain and John are both good people...and they have Bernzy's, nice when they're stocked up on Habs and Tatoo's too... South county plug SLAM...

Place in prov. I can call that dude and he'll open up for me to get eels, THAT is service :hee: :happy:

Old guy on thurbers... lets me pick my eels, DONT let him pick em though :hihi: :shifty:

Fin and Feather Steve and Byron are both extremely helpful :happy:

Rest is from sponsors etc, catalogs, cheap bombers/ fireline from #^&#^&#^&#^&s chain stores etc....

Looking into the locker solution that Charlie Maggs at weekapaug offers where, I can just drop him some dough 20,30, 50 etc and have a key to a locker, call in my order for eels and pick them up at will after the shop closes, with the total then being deducted from what I dropped him for dough.... sounds like it'd come in handy in a pinch I like having that as an option.

Lucky's bait and tackle :faga: I toss a mean chunk dude! :musc: My uncle John and his wife Olga have been stoppin in there for Ages! I dont think theres a tackle shop in that area that doesnt know them

Theres more....
