Mission
It is our mission, to uphold and further the tradition of Bill Fisher Tackle. On the most basic level, we will continue to provide top quality equipment and advice to our customers and friends. We will also continue to foster an environment where people can come to talk about all things, fishing and otherwise. Our vision for the shop is as a place of business, yes, but a community exchange, as well.

About Us
In 2005, Corey, Nat, Cameron, and Dr. Mike decided to buy Bill Fisher Tackle rather than let an island tradition die. The last four years have taught all four partners a great deal about business, community, and tradition. All four would readily agree that in learning the business that their greatest asset has been those whom have come to call Bill Fisher Tackle their tackle shop.


Much of what has transpired in The Shop in the previous four years is due to the community's ideas, suggestions, and involvement. To that we say Thank You! We welcome feedback, positive and negative, and continue to look to further the tradition with your help! Tight Lines...

Capt. Corey Gammill
Corey's fishing background is like so many who have walked through the doors of Bill Fisher Tackle. His first bluefish was caught from Great Point with a stiff wind in his face and rain beating down on him. He was six years old. It was a typical "bluefish blitz", for which Great Point has become famous. To make that day even sweeter, Corey's twin brother Cameron caught his first saltwater fish within minutes of his younger brother. Ever since that day, it would be an understatement to say that the love of fishing runs in Corey's blood.

As Corey was growing up, he spent the winter thinking about Nantucket's waters, only to be satisfied with local ponds and rivers. He also looked up to his brothers who spent their college age years working on charter boats. At eighteen, when "of age" Corey made his way to Nantucket to work as a mate on the Just Do It Too. For six years, Corey worked on various boats downtown. During those years he mastered casting, wire-lining, trolling, bottom fishing, as well as gained experience offshore tuna fishing and fishing for sharks.

In 2004, Corey was honored to be offered the opportunity to run boats for Capt. Tom Mleczko out of Madaket. For the last five years, Corey has been running trips for Tom and has come to know not just the eastern waters of Nantucket, but also the western edges off the south shore and the shores of Tuckernuck, Muskeget, and The Vineyard.

In the Fall of 2008, Corey was asked by the Great Harbor Yacht Club to act as their fishing director. The position was created to help educate and involve GHYC’s members in the great fishing opportunities that surround Nantucket. While Corey is excited about the position, he is quick to remind customers that this is only a part-time position and will not take away greatly from his time on the water running boats for Capt. Tom.
