there is a guy on FOWLER RD in Cape Elizabeth, big Brown Farm house, with Great pond in the back yard, has TONS of bait in his Garage.  Is also a game checker, has the sign outside.  Wanna say like 300 fowler rd, but not sure.. 8)

The "Outpost" closed sometime during last summer, I didn't talk to the owner and am not sure why he closed.  About a month or two ago the shop reopened as "The Fishin Hole." I went in there about 3 weeks ago and got bait and signed up for the bait club.  The new guy was extremely nice and they had very good shiners.  A week later he called me and let me know that he would be sending me a check for the $5 deposit I paid for the bait club because the shop was closing up.  He said that the Fishin Hole couldn't work out a lease with the owner of the building and they were heading back to their home-base which I think he said was Buxton. 

I live like 2 miles from the Outpost and this has destroyed my bait hookup.  I went to Johnson's in Portland on Saturday, and although I don't care for their bait normally they actually had some of the best quality shiners I have gotten in years.  But someone needs to open a bait shop in South Windham so I don't have to keep driving to Johnsons!!!!!

John is a good friend of mine. i know he closed the shop this summer, and i know it was 'the fishin hole' for a fewmonths, not sure if they left or not though. He may have even sold or is trying to sell his place???

not sure about the number, but I think he is open all the time.  because if he isn't in the garage where his shop is, you ring the doorbell. ???
