It is a great experience to walk out on the breakwater especially after you eat in town. Bring a camera and make sure you take your time to take it in.

Reviewed By Tirebiter8 - Denver, United States
I loved the humor and memories that I experienced. The owner's father made fishing lures and opened the place in 1964. His son, the current owner, tested his fathers lures since he was a child. This place is for the serious fisherman and the serious comic. I loved the T-shirts. I shared some fun stories with the owner as I also grew up fishing in the north country.
