Captain Don's is a first class shop. Last year I was doing a night trip to SoCo and called to see if I could pick up some eels around 7pm. He said they would be closed but he would put some eels around the side for me and just to leave the money in an envelope under the door. I had never been to the shop but this goes to show the great customer service they provide.
Thumbs up for Captain Don's!   |
HAMMER TIME!

I used to always go to his shop all the time when it was at Dunn's Corners - it was a very well run shop - great selection, friendly. His shop is what all the shops who failed should have been.

I loved the shop when it was there, In the early 90s he would be open around the clock in the fall and always had a pot of stew or chilli for the customers on those chilly fall nights. And of course the stories! Don had some good ones and was a master of telling them. I love that shop!!! Great people, always helpfull and they go out of there way for a customer regardless of whats spent!! Capt. Dons.......What all tackle atores should be! I have always considered a stop at his place mandatory before a night of fishing, especially in the fall.....A legend in westerly |

I 'm not sure about this "customer sevice" I prefer Walmart and Cabela's 
Just kidding, I think I may check out that shop when I'm down there this weekend, It seems well respected on this board. |

I can still see one of the walls in the Dunns Corner store covered in Bob Hahn plugs with prices of $8-12. I would stop there every trip and buy at least one plug. I wish I had bought more...............

Yeah, all kinds of animals in Capt. Don's stew. Last weekend it included
moose, or so Don said. No one has mentioned the great music Don plays
in background. Most of it big band and torch singers from the 40s and 50s.
For those of you who are too young the music from then has't yet been
matched. Great shop, great stew, and great music.
