AND THAT'S IT, FISHOS! THE LAST DAY HAS COME HERE AT THE RAMP BAIT AND TACKLE 🥺. I will be here all day, even tonight, with my whole family coming to celebrate my mum's birthday and also officially closing my first business. I once again would like to say thank you to all who have supported Dad and myself over the past 6.5 years, from my bait supplier to my tackle supplier and all other people involved - you know who you are. It's surely been a rough ride all the way through, but we've made many memories throughout the whole process. I started this shop adventure on 9th August 2019 with a partner, opening on 1st October, 7 days after my first child was born, so for me, it was more than just a shop - it was my first for everything. Not long after we opened, we lost snapper till today. Not long after that, I had to say goodbye to my business partner because sometimes people don't work together as they would have thought. But... it gave me an opportunity to ask my dad if he would help me out for a bit as I was doing two jobs and had a newborn. Had I known it would lead to having to work close to my dad for years to come, I would have asked him to start it up with me because my dad has truly worked his ass off at this shop for the community and, of course, his son. And I know I say thanks to him a lot, but the truth is I would not have the shop open to this day if it weren't for his hard work, especially the last few years where I stepped back a bit. So, for the final time, I would like to say a massive, massive thanks to my Dad, Cosimo Mezzino, for everything you've done, truly. Sorry for the long post, but I think it's deserved. Dad and I will still be here for the next few months cleaning up, so if you come past and we're here, come say hi - we'd love it.
THANKS,
FINALLY, TIGHT LINES, LOVE TO ALL, AND KEEP FISHING.🎣 🐠🦀
