Muskieman Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Every time I'm in Barrie ( quite often lately) I pop in to pick up a few things .. I always deal with a guy ... never met the lady , unless the guy is a lady . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Get. Her when she is in her nightgown ...that's the last lady who always had a nightgown on. Let me tell you, that thing was worn pretty thin too...much too thin. She was always friendly at least. The new one makes it painfully obvious that you are a MAJOR inconvenience to her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott S Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've heard of that lady and her bare feet. I miss Lou and his signs he had up all over the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12footspringbok Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Never had a problem with Lou. Always had what you wanted for fishing the area. Fall time he always had the salmon lures I wanted, had a good selection of floats hooks mesh etc for rainbow fishing. I could go on. If there was a rod or reel you wanted no problems ordering it in. Now I have to drive to the city to get what I want. Canadian Tire south in barrie looks fancy but they still don't cut it.... Better stop the rant now...LOL Jacobs for minnows for sure.

Lou I liked,as you said most times he had what you want,but was not shy at telling you what you should do. Now kinda miss that after the fact. The lady there now is alright,but doesn't seem to have what" I'm" looking for,but usually try there first before elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 usually try there first before elsewhere. Me too. I try to support the local shops. I've had a few morning coffee's with Penny. She's a good girl, but the selection there has suffered for sure. I've stopped in there on my lunch before and they where closed. So I decide to take a walk around lake shore, and sure as , there's Penny perching at the marina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince.bornais Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 She's a sponsor for the BFFF and she has no bait. She hasn't had minnows since last year, yet the guys at Hwy#11 & 89 have. I'm thinkin' she wants out of the business. It's too bad really because there is no other bait/tackle shop in Barrie now. You'd think that bait sales would make up a majority of her business?!

NAW Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 She must have something else on the go.. She went back to school last year. The shop has been for sale for a while now. She doesn't want to pile up the inventory, then sell the business, and make cents on the dollar. (I'm guessing ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 And you wonder why Lou sold it. Even when he did own it,he was never overly busy. I dont think it helps being tucked away either.Location There a story about that store and minnows,and why others have and it dosent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptackle Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 "There a story about that store and minnows,and why others have and it dosent" Inquiring minds want to know - so come on already, quit teasing! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 VHS? I talked to Lou before he sold the place a few years back. He said he didn't care if he made any money because he owned the building, and didn't have to pay rent. He just needed to cover the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
