Our 2nd Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Photo Contest is back; and it's bigger and better!  Here's the scoop...

Ugly Christmas Sweater Photo Contest:

- No Entry Fee/No Registration Necessary 
- Fish Anytime from 11/24-12/25/2018 
- Winners Announced 1/1/2019

-Here's how it works...
  - Find or make the ugliest, funniest, and/or most creative Christmas Sweater you can (Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any                  other Holiday related theme is also acceptable)
  - Go catch any kind of fish, of any size, on any tackle, anywhere you want over the next month...(11/24- 12/25)
  - Take picture wearing your ugly sweater and holding the fish...this is a photo contest so creativity and ingenuity (Like if        your fishing alone and have to take a selfie), long-arming,  and other photo enhancing skills are encouraged!    
  - Send pics via email (junobaitinc@gmail.com) or Instagram DM @junobait, include a little info about the catch                and instagram/facebook username (If applicable, you don't have to have either) so we can give credit when posting.            (Facebook messages have a tendency to vanish into some weird cyberspace place, so stick to Email or Instagram ONLY       for submitting pictures!)
  - Pics will be posted to Juno Bait Instagram and Facebook upon being received and start getting points immediately 
    (points are instagram likes, facebook likes, and facebook shares)...Once your picture is posted be sure to like and share      it, and tell all your friends to do the same (Note- Points only come from Juno Bait pages.  We encourage the posting of        pics on your pages with #junobait; but posts coming outside of our pages will not count in overall voting)
-  Pictures can be submitted anytime between 11/24 through 12/25/2018.  The sooner they come in, the longer they will       have to be voted on.  Voting will be open until 12/31/2018, with the winners being announced on New Years Day.  

- Some Legal Stuff
  - Any pictures submitted become property of Juno Bait to use as we choose...in other words; you will see yourself                  on our Social Media and our website, and other possible random places.
 - This is a free fun tournament...if your gonna cheat...first, take a good hard look in the mirror...second, don't do it!
-  Fish Mounts (Though technically previous caught fish), fish market fish, and old fish pictures with a snapchat sweater         filter though entertaining; will not count in the contest...in other words go catch a actual fish over the next month.

The close of business yesterday marked seven years for me as the owner of Juno Bait.  As I went through my normal nightly closing routine, I couldn't help but flash back over the past seven years.  I remember unlocking the door on August 1, 2008 like it was yesterday, so how seven years have come and gone is beyond me!  It has been a great ride; filled with great memories, stories, people, and friends.  To think about where I started seven years ago, what I've done since then, and where I'm going in the next seven is a lot of fun; and makes me smile.  Luckily I've had the support of great customers, loving family, and awesome friends over the past seven years to make all of this happen.  I really shouldn't say "I" at all, because almost all of what Juno Bait is "we" did together.  

To ALL Juno Bait customers, THANK YOU so much for all your support...and yes your money.  Hey, it's a business let's face it we need the money to keep going.  

To my wonderful wife Morgan, thank you so much for dealing so well with all the eighty hour work weeks and never losing the faith or vision for Juno Bait. To the rest of my awesome family thank you so much for all the different ways you help out!  

To my awesome employees (who are really more friends than employees) past and present thank you for all your help and support.  Without Eddie (who I like to think is smiling down on us from his pompano beach in the sky, and also cussing us for not feeding his birds), Austin (who helped me sneak a few mental health days out early on), Ryan (my first true employee, who may have saved my sanity after three plus years of seven day work weeks, Eric (who helped create "Everything You Need To Know about Fishing"...yeah it'll be back soon!), Jim (who I bought the shop from, and continues to help out on a weekly basis), Joel (who isn't really an employee, but besides Morgan was the other person pushing me into the new space), and Kenny (who continues to turn out sick rod work); we wouldn't be anywhere close to where we are now.  

And all my friends (many who started as customers and have become good friends) thank you for all the help, support, and laughs over the past seven years.   

Thanks again everyone, couldn't do it without you,
Todd

Thanks,

Today is the official last day at 12214 US Highway 1.  The move is 95% complete, and the new space is filling in nicely.  We will be around till about noon, and once the freezers and the last of the stuff is loaded up we are locking the doors here for the last time.  

We are looking at roughly a June 9th or 10th reopening date (Or if all the stars align, maybe a little sooner) at our new location (12770 US Highway 1).  We appreciate everyone's understanding through the move, and can't wait to see you all at the new place.  Look for updates throughout the week, and feel free to call us as the phone number remains the same.

Thanks again everyone, and extra special thanks to my badass moving crew yesterday!
