new tackle shop?

[eno]

Hi, heard a few rumours about a tackle shop opening on Shields road in Byker, can anyone confirm it ?

Heard the same rumour, Moonfleet were mentioned.

You'd think it would make sense for them to take over ID now it's closing.

Yes I have heard it is Moonfleet.
It will be in the old carpet shop opposite Morrisons on Shields Road Byker.

It seems common knowledge that Moonfleet are planning to open in Byker when ID Tackle ceases trading which should be in a couple of weeks. Until then, ID Tackle are continuing to trade and there's a fresh bait delivery scheduled for tomorrow. Everything is still 50% off and there's still some decent stuff on the shelves.

Well the decision has now been made, Moonfleet Anglings second shop will be in the byker area of Newcastle very very soon, the third shop will be in South Shields, we have held back as the bait supply has been strained with the demands but now we have had the nod from our suppliers, we can now move forward with our plans, things will move very quickly now

Lowery's are taking over ID Fishing's shop from what I've heard so that accounts for why Moonfleet aren't moving in there.

Yes we are opening a shop on shields road, we are hoping to open around 14th March, we delayed opening as John at ID is retiring and with 50% off it would not make sense to open, we wish John all the best on his retirement

Went past ID Fishing yesterday and the doors were still open for business so a bought some more stuff at less than half price. Told they are still trading this week from 10 til 4 while the freezers and fittings are being removed by Moonfleet. Still shed loads of bulk line, rods, reels, lures, waders, boots and river stuff like flies and floats which all has to go by this weekend with Sundays the last trading day.
