Goose Hummock B+T

Stopped in Goose Hummock this weekend and as you would expect this time of year they are well stocked. What seemed to be lacking was knowledgeable help. I needed line and the guy overspooled it and had to back off 20 yards and then tried to overcharge me for the 20 yards he had to take off. Sorry I bothered.

If you go be prepared to PAY dearly for your lures. I was thinking of picking up a Yo Zuri Mag Darter for a friend and there were only 3 lures of 5" models (and those weren't even the best colors) hanging amongst the many yo-zuris and I took a look at the price tag and could not believe my eyes. It was priced $15.99!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I looked closely and noticed these were last years lures and had been ticketed over and you could clearly see last years price was $9.99. At that point I took the one lure I was considering buying and put it back on the wall and left.

Are there any tackle shops on the outer cape that are not run by people who are retail hobbyists with money to lose? Cause you'll need to be ok with losing a lot of money if you were not in there by June 1 - fishing season is almost 1/3 over. Sounds like they have raised the prices with the hope of making the margin more attractive to the next buyer.

My thoughts exactly Joe.
