Sad our own NJF'er Mike Reynolds passed aka Sharkispy. He bought Brinkmans down by the big D river and right before he passed he called to tell me he was opening a second shop. We talked often about being business owners and we shared the pain and success stories. He GOT IT on hours, bait and tackle and his battle with online stores as he was an avid angler.

Anyone know what happened to the shop after his passing?

Miss him!

That is enlightening for sure. Margin on bait sales must be better and loss less than I expected.
