It's a sad situation and one I wish Mike well with. Knowing him to a degree, I know Mike will re-build his shop and bring it back to the glory that is was before the fire.

If anyone from the shop reads this, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help or PM me Mike's contact numbers so that I can call him since the numbers for the store only have a busy tone at the moment.

Best of luck!

Kadir

Good like and God Bless Mike.

Driving back from Prov to SoCo Saturday night I saw it from Rt 4. Mike, his boys and his staff are good folks. If anybody will make a comeback, they will.

I was over there today and talked to Mike. He is doing ok and is planning to be ready for the spring. Not sure about the building yet , but he is thinking positive , and as Martha says "that's a good thing."

Thanks QLBT

This is just awful news. Steve is one of the most helpful guys in fishing, hands down. Dave and the kids there are great too. That was my favorite place to go -- not only was the location convenient but they always had what I needed and they were always, always, always willing to help with my random ass, newbie questions. Thanks for everything QLBT! Best of luck to you guys!!!

There will definitely be a spike for John's Tackle's sales down the street, though. Hope he can deal with all my annoying questions...
