Rhode Island Tackle Shops

I go to Don @ KingCove. I spend alot of time in SoCo, and its worth the extra 5 min drive to Stonington. Don knows whats what in Rhody.

If you think about it there are actually a LOT of shops in RI and I think that's part of the reason not everyone carries everything. Look at Aquidneck Island alone; there's Sam's, Edward's, the new shop that is supposedly opening and the Edge. Then there's West Marine and Wal-Mart all in relatively close proximity. It's amazing that the Island even supports them all. Then over the bridges you have Quaker Lane and now Wildwood. That's a lot of options within maybe 20 miles of each other.

You also have Riverside in Tiverton,Buckos in Fall Riv and one in Bristol which at the moment the name escapes me.

and theres that other one in NK on frenchtown that is closer to the hwy than QL, I think it is called John's b&t? and sung harbour and kenport, and another 3 walmarts between here and there, and a #^&#^&#^&#^&s, and that other sporting goods store over by sams, and RI in providence, and a old whats his name on Rt. 1 in charlie, and there used to be Maridees on 108 as you head down to PJ, but I think he is gone, I haven't been there in a long time, and breachway, and that guy in westerly, like pete said all within 20 or 30 miles. With the internet, I'm suprised any can stay in business.

That's why I have more than one favorite bait & tackle shop. My favorite shops are Sportsman's Den, Fore River b&t, Red Top, M&D, SWE, King Cove, and Quaker Lane (green crabs availability).

Of coruse, the usual chain stores like Wal-Mart, #^&#^&#^&#^&'s, and Sports Authority.
