Wal Mart- Shop Rite near Point/Brielle??

[bulletbob]

Making the drive down on Tues to go on a bottom fishing boat.. Driving through the night.. have to leave here around midnight to arrive at a reasonable hour.. I would like to stop at a Wal mart to get a pile of 5- 6 oz sinkers, and a bunch of salt water hooks[4/0 etc], maybe some Gulp as well if its reasonable.. I refuse to spend $8.99 at the shore tackle stores, Its $4.99 here, but selection is limited// Also I would like to get some whole Smelts, and a big box of squid at Shop Rite, as I want a choice of bait other than clams on the head boat.. Seen too many day when the clams the boat supplies get outfished by guys using "bait from home"... That means I need to stop at a wal mart and shop rite on the way down... Are there any that are reasonbly close to the Point/ Brielle area???.. bob

If you are heading south on parkway take exit 100 go west then quickly make a u turn. Stay in the left lane go on to route 66 it's a half mile on ur left. Then come out of Walmart make a right get right on to parkway south get of at exit 98 about 3 miles just before Brielle is a traffic light ( Lakewood Dr. Shop rite is on your right. It opens at 6 am I'm not sure what time Walmart opens

Its not that easy, unless he's open at 4 am, and is near the boat somewhere.. You guys live there., I have to get my stuff in a few minutes and be back on the road.. Brielle/Point is about 500 mile round trip, and I have to grab what i can in as much of a straight line as i can...... bob

We open at 7:00 and don't charge $8.99 for gulp.

Yes Bob we get it, you live FAR FAR AWAY and a fishing trip for you is akin to crossing the Gobi desert.

thank you for the informative answer Sharkhart.. For whatever reason every reasonable answer around here seems to be countered with a smart ass answer.. I guess thats the price you pay for not being a guy that patronizes sponsors exclusively... And yes reason162, a 500 mile drive every time I want to catch a few ling or sea bass is pretty close to crossing the Gobi Desert, at least it seems that way...bob

Thanks Dave, unfortunately the boat leaves at 6:30.. I appreciate the fact that you guys price GULP fairly.. Some of your competitors don't.. I paid $8.99 for a little bag a week ago up near Shrewsbury/Navesink, and it was $8.99 last year lets just say in a bait shop on rt 36 in northern Monmouth County... I have done business with you in the past when I lived in NJ, and mostly likely will again when time isn't a major consideration... bob
