| Scott, it is in the same building as Grey's was in, I think they were right next to the Baskin Robins and we are a couple units down from there. We will provide custom rods and rod repair, we have someone who does GREAT work that we have already contacted. We will also repair and service reels, Chris and I will do most of that. Thanks again for all the interest and nice comments, I can't wait for the spring to roll around!

Our store hours will be From 5am to 9pm 7 days a week. If we go 24 hrs chad will have to pick up the late shift Brad, we will carry eels through Cobia season, into may. If a lot of people knew what an awesome big snapper and grouper bait live eels are there would be more demand through the end of the season. As it is now demand falls off after cobia season. We are still figuring out what the prices will be for pinfish, pigfish, and croakers. The croakers will have to be transported a pretty long distance so the price will reflect that. But they are the BEST trout bait you can have, excellent bait for redfish and flonder also. And the medium to large size ones are the best bay grouper bait there is. As you can tell I am VERY excited about the live bait!

| Matt, could we say that you are a self proclaimed master at the baiting aspect of the business? Serious, although I may be a bit biased, if you think about it..... I do not know of any two people that are better qualified at providing the equipment, bait, and service that our fishing community needs. I am sure that this will be a success. PJ

| The main reason I did most of my shopping at GBBT was because chris was always so helpful. I have no doubt that he'll take as much if not more pride in the job he will do with his own business. This will definately be my new favorite store around. Best of luck guys. Josh Timo

Matt, That's exactly why I asked. I love to use them for snapper baits. Through May is pretty good but it would be nice if you could squeek just a couple more weeks for the opening of federal water snapper season. Nevertheless, you guys are doing a tremendous job. Keep up the good work!

"jellyballs are those jellyfish that look like a mushroom. on the east coast we take 4 or 5 and put them om a 25 foot fish stringer then cut a frew up for bait and chum. throw the stringer out withe jellyballs on it then throw a handfull of the cut up pieces. the spadefish come in like gang busters! pick out the one you want and throw a hook baited with a small piece if jellyball and hang on!" Quote from another thread..
Maybe some jelly balls would sell like gang busters....Spade fish delight!!! Jimmy

The amount of discount will vary by different item. There is a wide variance of margin in this industry and there are also come corporate regulated prices. Trust me, we'll make it worth your while!

We definitely took the parking circumstances into consideration when selecting a location. I don't believe there will be any problem at all. Morning is the busiest time for anglers to come through with boats and most of the other business do not open before 9. You can also pull around the building and park in the rear or on the side. Not taking applications just yet, but I'm sure we will be at some point.

| CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW STORE! Although I don't get to Gulf Breeze too much (I live on southwest side on Perdido Bay), I will definitely pay you guys a visit. In this economy, it takes alot to open a business and then keep it open. I'm sure that your dedication to the local fishing community will give you many loyal customers...and especially if you work up an attractive discount for PFF members! And I like Voodoo Lounge's suggestion about providing some food and beverages like they do at Key West B&T....that's an awesome shop and I make sure to visit it when I'm down in the Keys. Good Luck!
