We Mourn the Passing of a Friend and Fishing Giant!
Sadly, Captain Don Cameron of Captain Don’s Bait and Tackle Passed on this evening around 7:30 at Rhode Island Hospital.
Captain Don was friend and mentor to many who fished Southern Rhode Island waters. This jovial man loved to talk fishing and helped many of us learn the area when we first came to fish southern RI. He enjoyed so much, giving his expert advice and helping people find and catch fish. I truly believe he received more joy seeing others catch fish. He will be dearly missed by old friends, customers and especially family. My deepest sympathy goes out to his wife Bonnie and his children. Please keep this Jovial Giant in your thoughts and prayers.
God Bless and Rest in Peace! |

Thoughts and Prayers Captain Don, to you, your family, and all of those that will miss you.
You were a great inspiration to your fellow angler and your fellow man.

I have never had the pleasure of meeting Capt. Don, but I have heard many of the wonderful things many of you here have said about him and I would like to offer my condolences to all of Capt. Don's friends and his family for their loss! Sure wish I had the chance to meet him....he sounded like a great guy!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

God rest your soul, my good friend. Capt. Don was a God fearing man, and his walk in life showed this. He will truly be missed, may the good Lord watch over his family in this time of sorrow.
Very, very sad news.

Sad news.
I have been to his shop once with BasicPatrick.
I'm pretty sure I met him that night.
Ironic,
That same night I met John Habs for the 1st time.
Thoughts & prayers to his family.

Ronnie is right...(did I just say that?) I have been in that shop with many from this board, many from Tri State, many from MSBA and each time was the same.
I read this post and now I feel sad.
Many many a night I came in the shop for a break from the cold and hot coffee or cup of venison game stew. Whether or not I was spending money I was always greeted with a smile and warm conversation.
Capt Don ran a shop thae way they are supposed to be run. A real loss of a good guy.
Rest in Peace with our prayers to guide your way |

I spoke with him recently and he was hopeful about the new treatment but was not worried of it didn't work.He knew he was going to a good place but was (typically) concerned for someone else...that I get the Habs lures for the raffle for the support of the child he adopted when John passed.He said "I want to make sure you get this raffle going because I won't be able to be there Joe." Looks like we'll be honoring 2 great guys from our sport at the RISAA show now. Man this has been a tough 12 months. RIP good Captain. |

This saddens me. A true gentleman, probably the nicest friendliest shop I ever stepped foot in. Both him and John were two of the best.
