The Saltwater Edge is moving! - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Pete_G · 01-12-2006, 11:34 AM

Come visit us at our new location at 1077 Aquidneck Avenue (Rt. 138A) in Middletown, RI ! The new shop will be almost twice as big and be much more accessible then our current downtown location. For customers on the North end of the Island and SE New England we’re now on the way to the water whether you fish Newport or South County. From the West we are just over 2 miles from the bridge. From any direction you can now avoid the Newport traffic.

With more room we’ll be able to improve the selection in all the things we currently do; surfcasting, saltwater fly, and light tackle as well as a big increase in our selection of boat gear for both inshore and offshore. Behind the scenes we’ll have room for back stock and for the first time a dedicated shipping/receiving area for web and mail orders, something we’ve really needed for quite a while. We are also going to have an extensive library of striper books on hand, many of which are extremely rare or old, as well as a couch to sit down and enjoy them on.

All phone numbers will remain the same as will all @saltwateredge.com email addresses.

The last day we’ll be open at the current location will be the 13th of January and we’re aiming to have the new store functional and open (although definitely not finished) by January 20th. We’ll have a grand re-opening on May 20th and we’ll also be raffling off a free Van Staal reel on that day. Stop by the new store to sign up!

If you have any questions or concerns just let us know. The website will stay up although during the week of the move web and mail orders may take a few extra days to get out the door. Thanks for your patience and we hope to see you soon.

In todays day and age when the small local tackle guy is going out of business, it's great to see one growing. Best of luck, Pete.

Definitely easy to miss but once you find it WOW nice shop guys

Next time down Pete we'll take a pic of the truck done up in front.

I liked that rod rack I might pick one up for the new bumper.

Not dangerously close but within in that sphere of influence that makes the brain think "Since I'm down this part of the Island,should I?"
