In the old days that was the shop to do business with, along with my old friend MacMin Reed of course. I go in there now only when there is a sale on ( like the late fall 3 plugs for the price of two thingie). It used to be that no matter where you were in fishing season you could walk around in your waders all day long as did all the other fishermen. Breakfast at Nonny's or Capn' Elmers, Angelo's Market, the Goose etc., no one thought twice about it. Now you walk into the Goose with waders on and they look at you funny as you track mud all over the carpet. Carpet in a tackle shop? The bait Shack is the only place where you are most welcome to walk in with muddy/sandy waders and no one gives it a second thought. Oh yeah, and no Van Stals at the Bait Shack either, I like that too!
The Goose is cooked. Karl, Let's buy it and make it into a real tackle shop with an attached Liquor store. Bait and booze, the perfect combo!
