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