Wanted to drop in and do a little shameless self-promotion.

Opened a new tackle shop on 306 just North of Hancock. The Tackle Box (at cayon). We have live bait, tackle, rods and reels, sodas, beer and ice.

Working on finding a few guides in the area to work with so i can provide that service as well.

If you are in the area stop on in. Mention this post and get 10% off your purchase (excluding beer).

Thanks a bunch and hope to see you out here!

I wish I would have known that when I was over there this past weekend. I would have stopped by. I stayed at Potter's Creek over the weekend. I will keep you in mind for my next trip.

I saw you working on the sign last week, I like the setup looks very cozy and should draw alot of anglers in. Your location is great being as how there is nobody that far west on 306, I saw the ice machine and the cool cabin you have there, looks like you are ready to go. I will give a shoutout to everyone to visit when I can.

I am actually headed out there in the morning and depending on what time we get on and what time we get off the lake, if your there I will stop by and say hi.

I wish you much luck and will keep you updated on the catfishing on the lake!!

Thanks a bunch. Need all the publicity i can get.

Guess i should mention that we are open from 6am-9pm daily.

Sounds good, hope to meet you tomorrow, I will post a link on my website to the Canyon Tackle Box.

About 1/4 mile north on 306

Nice -- I'll stop by next time I am up there for some minnows.

it'll be nice to have a tackle store there. are you going to carry live perch? how about punchbaits?

we will make it a point to stop in.

I'm currently trying to find my par stock. I don't have a whole lot of room but if there is a decent demand for an item i will carry it. I carry medium/large minnows and gold fish. I have 3 tanks so trying to decide if i want to carry gold fish or blacksalty's.so far, not much demand for gold fish.

I have never fished with punch bait, is there a certain brand that works well on canyon? If so i wil carry it.

Post a google map for those of us bad with directions. I'd like to come check it out.

The Adress on the link is 18474.For some reason the numbers are off a bit out here up that is where the driveway is.

Big Marv's is a must have when it comes to punchbait, and you won't have any problem selling it!

I've caught many cats using it, and so have a lot of others fishing that bait.

It works!

The supplier manufacturor is out of Gillett Texas, not far at all, just south east of Stockdale, so you wouldn't have problems getting restocked, and there are several places around the lake that already sell it.

I'm not connected to the guy that makes it, just a fisherman who uses it, and knows others who use it.

Hope you do well, and I'll try to stop in as often as I can.

I just clicked on your link and the map shows you're not far from the Ft. Sam, and Randolph retreats, which I frequent, so that is a plus, as that area was lacking in finding a place close to get bait and fishing supplies.

+1 on big marv's.

If you have a contact for Big Marv's that would be great. My bait guy carry's Danny King. Whats the word on that stuff? or is Big Marvs the best way to go?

Sorta off topic, but, if you haven't got one, go get a bait dealer's license from TPWD. Saw a Game Warden at the bait shop in Startzville a while back checking their license when I was in buying some bait.

830-789-4445 is the num on his card.

Big Marvs is a good bait, have good luck with it on Canyon.

Making an order for it today. Will carry it and Danny King

I've had success with both, but prefer Big Marv's as it's easier to get, and most places locally handle it, and glad to see you will also, and by the way, did I say it catches fish?

+2 for big marv's, sureshot is another texas made punch bait with a lot of fans on this site, might want to look into that too.

Big Marvs

Jut got it in. Carrying Big Marvs and Danny King. Just in time for the weekend

Good to meet you yesterday Travis, I like the setup plenty of tackle, bait, and beer to suit everyone.

The email address I was going to get you was Jeff@TeamCatfish.com

Those hours are great. I've always been fustrated with the bait shops around canyon, seem to open around 8am. Go looking for minnows for early morning crappy and have to wait until sun up......

Good to meet you today, Travis. You've got a nice shop, and the location is great. My wife and I will be back for more bait next week. Hopefully, there will be less wind.

Update:

Now Carrying Lake Fork Tackle 10" Worms and 4" Craw Tubes

Travis, Thanks for getting the Lake Fork Tackle in as I requested.
Just a lttle plug here for The Tackle Box..I went in last week for the first time and asked Travis if he had ever considered carrying LFT because they make some of my favorite plastics. He said he would look into it and apparently he did !! I stopped in today and stocked up on my LFT worms and wanted to let you guys know that Travis is a nice guy and is wanting to please his potential clients.
Thanks again Travis for getting in the LFT products.

Canyon Tackle Box,
I sent you a PM.
Thanks,
Noel
