  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? Do everyonce in a while will a new employee
give the wrong advice? Of course. but as a rule 90something percent of the people/customers find we do our best
to take care of them. 9 out of 10 anit bad. would I like to be better and the store to be perfect sure, But that anit resonable.
we do the best we can with the flawed real type people we have. I hope for you it works.

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

Special Thanks to Cayle from Higher Power Gun Shop in Punta Gorda
