I think the spiel gives enough description

Dunno, but noticed they changed from a fishing shop, to a hunting shop, to a game fishing shop over a couple of years. Always thought those last two iterations were odd - going from an everyone customer base to really specific customer base.

Is it related to Lee Rayner's fishing fever shop?
Retail is dying all across the country.

Just wanted to see if anyone else knew anything other than what's on social media.
Cheers

I thought was just called fishing fever. Didn't know changed to Game Fishing Fever, was it like game fishing only?
I went there few times, met Lee in person, genuinely nice guy with a lot of knowledge.

Sad to see it go was a great shop since it’s inception with Lee R and Morne Muller when Lee abruptly disappeared from IFISH.

To now with Lee R and Lee McDuffy they always provided great customer service they can all be proud of what a fantastic business it was.

Sad to hear. I always make an effort to go support my local tackle store even if it means spending a couple bucks more on something.

I’ve never met Lee Rayner but I can tell you I’d rather be in a room talking fishing with him over Paul Worsteling that’s for sure!

I remember I went there and was getting one cod lure and one lure for pinkie. He gave me and shared so much knowledge, taught me a lot about cod and snapper, and the diff of lures for diff situation.
I got so much more than just $30 I spent on the lures.
Genuine nice guy and great to talk about fishing.
