THE BEST PLACE TO SHOP FOR FISHING GEAR

In the Sunshine Ace Sporting Goods Department you'll find everything you need for serious fishing! From freshwater to saltwater, spinning, casting to fly. Need bait? They carry shrimp, mullet, sandfleas, finger mullet, ballyhoo (rigged & unrigged), spanish sardines,chum and squid.

Need rods and reels, but don't have a clue what to buy? Just walk right in and one of the nice gentlemen in the store can be just the one to make sure you are outfitted with just what you need. You can also rest assured that they will not try to sell you on more than you need. Ladies, if you want to surprise your husband with a gift - they can help with this too. Want a pink rod for yourself? They have those too. wouldn't that be a surprise...your husband thinks he has a day of fishing without you, but you show up with your own rod and reel!

Guys, need a little practice on tying a knot, the guys at Ace have the techniques and they know all of the fishing spots to make sure you get a catch of the day.

Wonder why I am talking about Ace Hardware? Because they are so darn nice and they have everything. My favorite one is on HWY 41 in the shopping center with Wynn's Market another one of my favorite places in town!

See you at Ace. I'll be in the paint aisle!
