Cool store in N. Van. Lots of stuff, lots of junk, but some bargains if you dig for long enough.

Tangled box of commercial pink/sockeye gear containng 50 small pink hootchies with good barrel swivels and hooks, 17 loupack spoons, 10 manistee spoons, 3 bigger spoons all with new ss 5/0 hooks. 60 trolling snaps with swivels = $13.00
16 6 +7" tomic and silver horde plugs =$6.00
2 nib North King spoons and 1 nib Seafour lure = $6.00
Super release dodger with an Offshore release clip =$6.00
nib scotty downrigger ball boom holder/hook =$4.50
box of 100 5/0 mustad ss siwash hooks =$7.50

$43.00 total.
Next time I'll look closer at boat stuff, books, tools, and seine corks for potential crab/prawn trap floats or skiff fenders.

Forgot to add that the stuff gets cheaper by 1-X# of cents per day until it reaches the bottom limit. So if it doesn't sell by the deadline (like the Tomics hiding under a pile of crap), it can be bought at the lowest possiible price.

This is where a lot of my buddies go for props. Know one guy who picked up 2 SS props, and 3 ALU props for his 90hp inboard runabout....under $100 for all 5.

Didn't know they carried tackle goodies too

I believe they carry used gear from the lodges up the coast in the fall.
