jhndoe Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 M&D has been my favorite bait and tackle for many years. Prices were great and Mike is very helpful and friendly. Hopefully whoever buys it is like him. I've wondered into Red Top numerous times over many years. I am always ignored. The day I saw an employee berate a customer to others in the shop after he left, was the last time I went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
night owl Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 It's a sad time indeed. M&D's was the best shop around and the prices were good. The friendliness was genuine too. He didn't burn the canal like some of the other local shops did either. Thank you for everything all these years. You will be missed Mike! I wish I bought more of his jigheads now. I'd buy 100 of them if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigger Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Here's an article that the local paper has run. https://wareham.theweektoday.com/article/family-selling-md’s-bait-tackle-wareham-after-33-years/39209?fbclid=IwAR1Z0yJ1l8WtHCbEwrC3KEqNB7FeEMpX5sTmpEz436iuZM92Vp7WM09jYtw SOL # 596 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angler #1 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Jigger judging from that story the store still might find some life if the right person comes along and buys Mike Out . This may well be an opportunity for some one to engage in a old bait and tackle shop that has a good customer base and has a good background in helping plug builders get established as well. I wonder if the building in the back would be part of the business or just the store in the front? It would be a shame to lose such a place after many years of active sales.

FoliFish Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 I looked online but couldn’t find any listings for the business or property. Wishing Mike and his family well in all their future endeavors. Only had a chance to meet him a couple of times but always a pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimS Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 M&Ds will be missed, haven’t been in there in years but always liked Mike...wish him all the best TimS Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere. Show someone where to go striped bass fishing and you'll have a desperate report chaser with loose lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west tide Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 It’s sad to see Mike go. He was the real deal and he ran a very good business with excellent customer service. Also, he carried hardware to repair plugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the correct numbers and that sounds like a good number for what is there. Did it say both buildings in the advertisement?

zeke04 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I spoke with Mike last Saturday and he told me he has had several offers, but they all wanted him to stay on and run the shop (something he is not interested in doing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
