When we bought Bill Fisher Tackle in the Spring of 2005, we had one thought in our minds, to keep the tackle shop alive. Like so many fishermen on Nantucket, we looked towards BFT as our "fishing home". A place where we could walk in and find out the latest fishing report, pick up our favorite fishing plug, get a reel repaired, or simply enjoy some fishing conversation.

Rather than let the tradition that has supported so many Nantucket fishing enthusiasts die, we reached into our piggy banks and set out on a journey. Four years later, we never could have predicted the location that we would be in, the support we would receive or the pride that we all take in our "fishing home". We have done our best to try and recreate the comfortable feeling for all Bill Fisher loyaltists as well as those who have stumbled into the shop in the last four years.

While we certainly hope that we can support you in regards to the equipment necessary to land the fish you seek, our true reward is when you come back into the shop and say “thanks for the advice.” We want all Nantucket fishing enthusiasts to know that we will never be shy about passing on information.

This website was created to help further bring the Bill Fisher Tackle Community together. We hope that you will share with us pictures of your recent fishing trips as well as some of your favorite recipes. In return we will be updating the fishing report twice a week so as to keep you abreast of all the action that is taking place both from the beach as well as from the boats.

One thing that the last year should have taught all of us is to appreciate the simple things in life. With that, grab your son, sister, friend or father, and head to your favorite beach and wet a line. But don’t forget to stop by Bill Fishers on your way to find out where the fish are and what they are interested in!

Tight Lines,
Corey, Nat, Mike, and Cam
