Stopped at Mark's today for the first time. Super friendly and very helpful!!! I bought a spud bar, ice picks, two rod/reel combos, jawjacker, string, skimmer, hand auger, and a few other odds and ends. Next on my list will be some good boots and cleats.
For some reason it was picking up that 20lb (or so) spud bar that got me really excited.
