The Tackle Box
We are so fortunate to have milder winters here in the
Lowcountry. If January is any indication of how February
and March will be, we will continue to have days that are
easily spent outdoors. As always, look to the Tackle Box
as your source for outdoor activity options. Rent a boat
for a leisurely cruise or fishing around the lake. Dennis,
our Nature Guy is very helpful with giving fishing tips to
people of all skill levels and can recommend the best bait
and lures to use any time of the year. Attend one of his
lectures that he gives regularly at the Fishing Club meetings
in which he covers the latest techniques and fishing topics.
An overnight stay at The Outpost on a mild winter evening
is also a fun outing with family and friends.
We continue to carry Hampton Lake logo clothing and
accessories for all the family. Look for exciting new items in
store for March. Need a thank you gift for someone special
or your favorite host or hostess? We have area books,
unique table top and gardening items, candleholders,
picture frames and more. We will be hosting fun store
events starting in March and throughout the year including
visiting artists, authors and local craftspeople. Look for
details in the upcoming Weekly Updates. Have a suggestion
for an item you would like us to carry? Be sure and let us
know.
Stop by for a complimentary cup of coffee or tea and find
out what’s new or contact The Tackle Box at 843.836.7458.
Complimentary weekly guided boat rides will resume in
March.
