Work with 1 or 2 friends and buy in bulk at ebay. Buying bulk only make sense to save money, especialy on plastics, jigheads, swivels, fishing line, etc....

There is a US mail box company just across lewiston bridge, they charge $5 per package to use their address for shipping. Many companies on ebay do not charge for shipping to Buffalo. Go fish Niagara whirlpool , then pick up the package of goods you ordered on line. Tires , autoparts , household goods are generally less expensive in BUffalo. The custom border officers are very lenient these days. The cheapest tire I got was $55 for a Uniroyal (subsidiary of Michelin tires) from Walmart Buffalo, all taxes installation, balancing inclusive.

Ollies Bargain outlet, across the borders just aquired some good deals fishing stuff from a company that filed bankrupt. I got some P-line flourocarbon 250 yards line 14 lb for $8. P-line fluroclear was only $5.50. Fly line was only $5.

Walmart USA Buzzbait was only $1.25 each. Was $1 last year. I got a 2 piece Daiwa stiff 8-20lb rated Baitcasting rod from Dicks Galleria for $22 tax included. their 1 piece also cost $22. Gander mountain 12' steelhead /salmon rod is only $50, on sale can go as low as $30.

Lebarons Markham yellow diamond spoon was only 75 cents, they have 3 sizes, too light for many application, just bend a penny to the shape and glue them to the back of the spoon with epoxy from Dollarama. The added weight will be more effective in running waters of river system such as fishing the Niagara whirlpool. Scrape off the front paint if fishing on clear water, no paint is more effective and can glitter more.

My Ex-regular fishing buddy is a reliable honest hard working Auto mechanic, He can work on your vehicle at his home in Oshawa during his sun and monday day off. He is a 68 year old chap named Vijay tel: 905-767-5708. He works at another mechanic shop in Markham during Tuesdays to sat. He is temporary lying low on fishing and spending more time with his over-demanding wife on his day off, so no fishing with me for a while. His rate is around $45 an hour and you can even supply the parts yourself. He will not fix anything if it can survive not getting it fix. Many mechanics are a rip-off these days. Just mention Joshua's referrals, and another fishing guy. The more detailed fishing honey hole you can provide, the less he might charge. HA! HA!
