About Us
Not only has Bill lived and fished locally all his life but is also a licensed captain who ran charter for 13 years including running the 62' Hatteras named "El Cid" out of Freeport. He has fished offshore, inshore and fresh water and is more than willing to share his knowledge with all. That is where we came up with our slogans "Personal Service for a Fisherman by a Fisherman" and "Anyone can sell you bait, We help you catch fish!".
We are a family run business. At any time you may find
Bill or Denise running the store with help from their daughters or Ben or Keith. All of us are more than ready to help.
Both Bill and Denise are very involved with the fisheries
of the future of recreational fishing. Bill was the Vice President of the New
York Tackle and Trade Association (NYFTTA) and Denise ran the NYFTTA Annual
Island Wide Tournament. They continue their involvement to improve the current fishing regulations, establish longer seasons and increase bag limits.
Combs' Annual Duke Of Fluke Tournament, held each June, is the largest fluke tournament in the country. Bill is happy to dispense his expertise about fishing hot spots, new techniques, equipment and methods. His informative fishing reports are featured weekly in 'The Fisherman'.
