Always a pleasure and a highlight of my day. Even the wife, she wanted a Shibumi beach shade, I insisted she buy it there.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I have a lot of steam left and a couple more business that need to be attended to, plus Hannah still has a few more years at Vanderbilt to complete her MDPHD. Maybe one day I’ll become that old ornery man like pierce, Dotson looney, that never had a filter and put us kids in our place.

You were one of the first locals we met on the pier. As visiting fishermen, you and all the locals always made us feel welcome. It was always a highlight of our trip to visit the shop and see you. We will miss you terribly.

Thank you for everything you have done for me both inspirational and at J&M whenever I visit on my vacations (you were one of earliest persons I met on the pier who was there to lend a helping hand and advise)
You have given me a number of memorable moments
I wish you the best in the future wherever it takes you and your family
You have been a a big asset to so many fisherman on and off the pier

You deserve our thanks for contributing to our success at the expense of your own chances. My wife jokingly asks me if running a tackle store is my dream job. I always say that for a fisherman it's the world's worst job because the hours crush your own fishing opportunities and you are reliant on the vicarious thrill of helping others.
