The Bait shop was my Son Dugan and I first stop on every fishing trip … He always greeted us with a smile and he always gave my son (whom is 13 now) fishing advise, Dugan referred to Pete’s II the “best bait shop in town” … How deeply saddened we are by the loss of Jack, our prayers go out to Jacks family and fiend’s … It was my honor knowing him … Michael & Dugan Hollinshead
