BigFish Bait Co. Exterior Complete....Almost!

Its been 2 years in the works and I just finished painting my plug shop! All I have left to do outside is finish building my door and hang my gutters! Then I can get going on the heart of the shop! Thought some might like to see the progress......I can't find the before pics, it would have been a good comparison!

ChrisL...house is getting a makeover....among other things besides some new, larger windows and a new front door....house is getting new cedar shakes and a paint job! No vinyl for me.....nope! Just good old fashioned wood!

Shop is 14' by 20'! Lots of room! Plus I have a generous work area setup in the basement for painting, wiring, packaging and shipping!

Keep it short, dry and brown SK.....I only mow it every 4-5 weeks......its only dust right now but a few rainy days and it will need a cut pretty quick! Real fishermen have brown grass!

You need to put one of those split doors on it....so you can lean on it like the proud owner and talk to the passerby's about plugs.

Looks Sweet

The quality of your business shows in every aspect- Plugs, packaging website, shop and your good looks

Going to fish Montauk next weekend for the first time with some BigFish Plugs.

It was either wood stove or drive-thru...figure if someone comes by....they can set a spell! Drool cups will also be provided! Perhaps an opportunity to imbibe?

Now this is useful info! If I can get my wife to move back home (Plymouth area) I'll take you up on that.
What you did to that old garage is pretty amazing. Nice job.

Will BFL be at the PlugBash in RI on 10/6?
