Many retired couples look for some sort of business that they can open to provide both an income during their retirement, as well as something to keep them occupied. Many of these couples choose to open a bait and tackle shop. Every area that has fishing available in lakes, ponds, or rivers, as well as the ocean, needs bait and tackle shops. The “mom and pop” version can be, by far, the most enjoyable kind. Many of these places become the morning and evening hangout for the local fishermen.

If a fishing tackle shop is the type of business that you choose to open, then in addition to the obvious fishing tackle and bait that you will need to stock, you should also consider installing a kitchen and acquiring a liquor license. For those fishermen who wish to meet up before heading out to the lake in the morning, you could profit greatly by providing them a place to grab some breakfast and coffee and socialize before setting out.

The liquor license would come in handy in two ways. Number one, many fishermen feel that there is nothing better than grabbing a case of beer and heading for the lake for some fishing and fun. Number two, when the fishermen come back in the evening, you could profit by giving them a place to stop in, show off their catches for the day and grab a cool pint before heading home for the night.
