West-end Tackle Shops

[Gill-T]

There are often people inquiring about where to buy tackle when they come up to the lake. Knowing how important it is to support local tackle shops,  I thought I would start a thread that highlights some of the tackle shops on the West side of the lake. Feel free to add to the list to help serve as a resource for others. 
 

Route 18 Tackle shop:  near Hamlin

 

Has pretty much everything you need to fish Lake Ontario including custom Hawk series of spoons.  Additionally, there are some stickbaits for walleye and other warm water species tackle.

Captain’s Cove - Oak Orchard

Has some tackle. This is a new store that will probably be increasing inventory over time. They have rooms and slips to rent.

Boat Doctors - Olcott, NY

 

Jim and Karen have everything you need or would want for trolling plus other items such as boat supplies and Dramamine.

Wilson Boatyard Marina and Bootlegger’s Cove

 

DOES NOT have tackle anymore. They have gas, slips and are still serving as LOC weigh stations

RT 18 tackle is fantastic. John knows his stuff, is friendly and is happy to offer tips and recent intel on the fishing. Highly recommend.

If someone hangs a top 20 king in the fall LOC jigging I will give you a $50 gift certificate to Rt 18 Tackle.
