Mobile Bait and Tackle Shop For Sale!

Now this is Really COOL!!!
A Mobile Bait and Tackle Shop.

You know, I know of a certain lake, that has a certain bridge, that jets out half way across the lake, and then dead ends. Trick is, I'm not the only one who knows of this bridge. Which is not even a bridge, anymore. But a pier used by 100's of fishermen each and every weekend. Not to mention a few dozen that fish there all week long.

Problem is, you have to travel 20 miles to the nearest bait and tackle shop. Which is really nothing more than a convenient store that just happens to sell minnows, worms, and a Very limited amount of tackle.

So I was just thinking... hmmm?
A Mobile Bait and Tackle Shop. YEAH!!!

But there's another problem.
The Dad-Gum thing has already been sold. Not to worry however, as the seller said he building another. So, I'm posting his AD here as a reference while I try to contact him through the forum in which I found his post. You'll find a link to his forum post at the bottom of this page. In the meantime, here is the...

Listing News: Found;

Darver Tackle Shop For Sale
in Starbuck, Washington

In a Search, for Tackle shops For Sale. I found; The Darver Tackle Shop in Starbuck, Washington. I don't know anything about the shop, other than what I've read on the website, and saw in the video above. But it looks like a real nice little business. Especially if, the RV Park goes along with it.

Unfortunately there is very little information as to price, and/or terms, if any. So all I can really tell you is that the Darver Tackle Shop is a full service Tackle shop with a wide variety of fishing gear and baits. Their rods, reels, and tackle are specially chosen for fishing the local rivers and streams. They also sell fishing licenses. And they have current information on river conditions.

It seems also, that this is a Mom&Pop operation. With "Darcy", making his own lures and sinkers (patent pending) which can also be purchased with the shop. And he keeps a large supply of "do it yourself" items in stock for those who like to make their own lures. If you're looking for a fishing guide, he's been known to take a group out on occasion.

Then there is "Verna", who keeps busy running the tackle shop. Though she does find time to draw and paint. You can see some of her beautiful art work displayed throughout the shop.


Then there are the 2 Darver Tackle RV Parks.
(Call for lot pricing, and Note; I'm not sure if the RV Park are included in the sale.)


Darver RV Park #1, has 3 FULL service spaces each with a 50 amp hookup, water, sewer, telephone, a patio area, grass, and trees and is conveniently located in downtown Starbuck.


Darver RV Park #2, has 5 FULL service spaces each with a 50 amp hookup, water, sewer, telephone/satellite ready, a 12x14 patio area and attached sidewalk, grass, and trees. Located along the banks of the Tucannon River in Starbuck.


All in all, and if i had a supporting wife. I think I would have to check into purchasing this little tackle shop. But, with things as they are, I will just have to pass the knowledge along to whoever happens to read this blog post. So, if your reading, and you like, and you're interested...


Visit the Darver Tackle Shop website.
(which could be improved upon, i might add. and set up to accommodate Online Ordering.)

Established
Fly Fishing Shop for Sale
By Owner

I Found this Established Fly Fishing Shop for Sale By Owner on craigslist and WOW!!! What an opportunity!

I don't think there is any doubt that every fisherman's dream is to own their own Bait Shop. More than a Bait Shop however, as the AD I found is for an Actual Fly Fishing Shop. An "Established", Fly Fishing Shop. Meaning, all your fishing buddies are already there, and are your customers, as the owner/seller has built this business on integrity, and friendship. How do I know? Because aside from owning and operating a Fly Fishing Shop. The owner also maintains a website with a Forum. Which means, all you have to do is read what their customers have posted in their forum, to know that this is the Bait/Tackle Shop you've always wanted. Oh, and did I mention, it's already making money.

Of course, I don't Know the people, or the business. I mean, like I said, I "FOUND" this AD on craigslist. So, you know, the "Due Diligence" is Your responsibility, and of course, Buyer Beware.

Nevertheless, if I was 20 years younger... which reminds me. The seller says they are considering retirement. Which probably means some seller financing. Now don't quote me on that. But typically, in retirement cases. A good enough down payment so that the seller can go on a Nice vacation, and then something in the form of a monthly income, will usually be all the seller needs to make a deal. But again, don't quote me on that. Instead, let me get myself out of the way so you can read the...
