Bait Barn

**B can man** · 02-12-2013, 03:39 PM

I am very happy for you and the wife. You guys are gonna do great with the old Bait Barn.

Any time I fish west of State Route 53, you guys have my business.

I came up with an idea. I have never been one to call a tackle shop to see if they are open, but I am guessing that tackle shops may get plenty of early calls from fishermen asking if they are open. How about a nightly status on your website with a simple "Opening at 5am, Closing at 6pm". That way fishermen can easily see before leaving home or check it from their cell phone?

Good luck and God bless!

Hey gang I see more people are getting on here with influential ideas and I am loving it. All of your ideas are greatly appreciated and will be put into action. I have never been in retail or operated a bait shop before let alone owned one... so thank you all, I really want to make everyone feel welcome and have a part in it, honestly I want everyone to feel at home in there like this is their shop..so thank you all very much. As for the web site my brother is building it, hes a comp. wiz and well I know how to turn one on and find walleye.com that is about it... keep the ideas coming!

Hope ya'll don't mind the free coffee when you come in, only policy is you take last cup you make the next pot.. hope that is tolerable..

Troy, come on there's nothing better than black dirt on a white boat. We will have bedding I have white boat floor as well. Hate that dirty dirt!

I say we bag the 10% discount and pay full price until Bait Barn get's up and running in the black! I would hate to see it go away quickly!! 10% discount ain't gonna make or break any fisherman but might make a big difference in the bottom line for the Bait Barn. Just sayin'

I agree lets get this small business owner off to a good start financially. I know I dont go to bait shops for value. I choose my bait shops for quality in these areas (friendly atomsphere, lively bait, and great fishing reports). Cant wait for the fishing to begin...
