Unfortunately this is the only game in town and it shows. Novice 1000 island fisherman shows up with little knowledge of the area and you would think they would be at least a little helpful as to what is biting, locations, tackle, etc. I brought lot's of tackle and a couple of dozen rods, but every location tends to use different techniques. When asking, not really much help. In fact, they seemed to go out of their way to ignore you. Made several trips and no matter the staff, all the same. They do have a lot of tackle and bait, however, what I was looking for was some helpful advice. One would think they would go out of their way to make your experience the best it could be to keep you coming back - couldn't have been farthest from the truth. Even went back to obtain my Canadian fishing license for a charter and nobody there to process the license in the middle of the day -- advice was go to Canada. Unfortunately no other options -- but if you can't get advice, I would just buy everything on-line from a nameless, faceless website -- not much difference from the experience I received.
