Fins & Furs Closed Down .......

[NorthJerzyG]

Stopped in around 6:30 this morning and they were closed. Waited for a little while until a woman who appeared to work next door told me they closed last week. Checked on my way home around noon and it was still dark.

Anyone else here know about this, or know why?

That's a shame. The owner was a nice guy but it seems bait shops in that area never last. use to be 3 on 23 when I was a kid yet there are 15 massage parlors every 3 miles on 23

Has anyone tried looking for a local hardware store lately? Fishing and hunting stores are at a premium for sure. Retailing has taken on a whole, new chapter. Sure, you can buy stuff online or in a major, national sporting goods store. But, where do you buy information, advice, know-how, techniques? Sportsmen's shows? YouTube? This forum?

While the fishermen on this site are great, it's not the same as going into a fishing tackle store and having your questions answered or reels serviced or rods repaired or even given advice about where to fish. Where would anyone go if they wanted a record fish weighed in?

These are some observations and perhaps a call for help to the tackle industry to help us average fishermen to keep fishing and to encourage more people to pick up a rod and reel and fish.
