Tackle Shop With Social Gathering Facilities
By Rodger G Allenby
Starting a tackle shop may be the perfect sideline for a retired
couple looking for something to fill their time. Every area of
the United States that is close to any kind of a body of water,
whether it is a river, a lake, a pond or an ocean, has a need
for good bait shops.
One of the most enjoyable kinds of bait shops to own, is the
one located in an area of small towns, where everyone knows everyone.
This is because the local bait shop can become a very social place;
a place where local fishermen can gather in the morning, review
their options before they hit the lake, and in the evening to
brag about their catches and the one that "got away."
Adding Breakfast And Coffee Facilities
If a fishing tackle shop is the type of business that you choose
to open, then in addition to the obvious fishing tackle and bait
that you will need to stock, you should also consider installing
a kitchen and acquiring a liquor license.
For those fishermen who wish to meet up before heading out to
the lake in the morning, you could profit greatly by providing
them a place to grab some breakfast and coffee and socialize before
setting out.
Social Gathering In Your Shop
The liquor license would come in handy in two ways. Number one,
many fishermen feel that there is nothing better than grabbing
a case of beer and heading for the lake for some fishing and fun.
Number two, when the fishermen come back in the evening, you
could profit by giving them a place to stop in, show off their
catches for the day and grab a cool pint before heading home for
the night.
Your tackle shop will need to stock a full line of both live
and artificial bait, along with quality fishing tackle, like rods,
reels and lures. Another important thing that you must provide
is accessibility to fishing licenses, boat registrations, and,
in the off season, hunting licenses and equipment. You should
also look into providing check station services during hunting
season.
Rotate Your Stock To Match Season And Activities
Your bait and tackle shop will be successful if you learn the
value of variety and change. You should rotate your stock to match
the season and the activity that is occurring during that particular
time of year.
You must be willing to keep your store open for long hours if
you expect to make any kind of a profit from it. Opening before
dawn when the fishermen are just starting out, and closing after
dark once the fishermen have returned will be the key to a successful
tackle store operation.
