Marty's Bait and Tackle

It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of Marty’s officially closing after nearly 50 years in business. We would like to express our appreciation to all of our customers for their loyalty, support and trust over the years. I have made many lifelong friends during my time here and will cherish that forever. Unfortunately, the current state of the fishery, along with numerous seasonal restrictions compounded by inflation and online sales made it much to much to overcome. A huge thank you to the staff, many of who we watched grow up and move on to bigger and better things. It was an honor to work for Liz and Jim, they treated me like family and for that I am forever grateful. Please support small business whenever possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Tight lines and fair seas.
