  It would be hard to picture life without fishing.
 People who do not fish do not understand the
therapeutic value of fishing, losing yourself to
 the motion of the waves and just relaxing.
The best things about fishing is where you do it,
 and that you do not carry a score card.

Since 1984 when I first walked through the door here at Fishin Franks,
I found the people / customers to be the best part of this job,
and all these decades later that is still true. You all are the best part of the day.
are we perfect? do I always say or do the right thing? Will a new employee every one in a while
give the wrong advice? Of course. but as a rule 90 something percent of the people/customers find we do our best
to take care of them. 9 out of 10 ain't bad. would I like to be better and the store to be perfect? Sure, But that ain't reasonable.
we do the best we can with the flawed real type people we have. I hope it works for you. 

Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives so many years
Fishin Frank

Yes it is still Fishin Franks, and Yes I still own it,
No I do not have a Partner. No I did not sell out.
No I am not going to sell, unless someone offers really, really, really a lot.
