batoathome Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) Just had to post this. My friend and I decided to give Bass tournaments a try this year and well it has its ups and downs. Just to make a long story short... We fished the Top Bass series two weeks ago at Rice lake. We were really excited to fish, but as soon as we launched the boat my buddy went to park the vehicle and THE WHEEL FELL OFF the trailer!!! (could gave been worse). SO the people at B J TACKLE were extremely heplful and not only let us dock our boat there for the week(free) but also made arrangments to have the trailer repaired at a very reasonable price. SO JUST WANTED TO THANK THEM AND LET EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD KNOW that they went out of their way to help us out.

Harrison Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Ben from BJ's is a great guy, this doesn't suprise me. When I had my big brothers and sisters events the town was giving me a headache to use the park, he stepped in and let me use his property. He's a good guy.

Sinker Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yep, if everyone was as good as the crew at BJ's, the world would be a better place. I go out of my way all the time to get stuff from them. They've helped me out many, many times. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'm not familiar with BJ's but it's nice to hear of folks who will step up and help out a couple total strangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirk Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Ben is top shelf for sure.I launched once and had forgotten my boat keys and he gave me 2 sets of OMC dealer keys to try and get me going.I have a shop myself but I always send him customers if they are out his way for boat rentals or whatever,they don't get any better.

Ron Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Lew, Not much if any Muskie tackle but he sure does have one of the largest selections around of anything else! I would wager he to have more Rapala lures than any other store in Ontario, including BPS, Lebarrons and a few other big guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom McCutcheon Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) I just planted an MCI "Know The Difference" sign at the ramp beside his store today. Talked to him for probably 30 minutes, really nice guy and helpful. Tom. Edited August 5, 2010 by Tom McCutcheon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherpete Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 My cottage is on the first island out of Bewdley on Rice... I have known Ben for, jeez, pretty much my whole life. He is as nice as a guy as there is. Earlier this year while heading to my island in the middle of the night, we found one of his rental boats (almost the hard way) empty and drifting away in the middle of the lake... brought it back to him (they were out at campfire) and he was a very happy camper.

Ben_Daniels Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 That's good to hear, I'm not too familiar with BJ's but I have heard their name come up on here a couple times and it was always good things from what I remember! -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherpete Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 LOL guys... even closer than Sunken or West Grape... Just to the right of Bewdley is my "island"... it does not show up on maps as an island, but the entire back of it is swamp and marshlands and can't be crossed either by foot or by boat. I have heard it called "Charlie's Mound" by the locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'mHooked Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 How does a wheel fall off a trailer? Sounds like you guys had horseshoes somewhere that it didn't come off with the boat on it doing 100km/hr in traffic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
