I am in the fort myers area for the next few days and was wondering if there were any good marine liquidator type junk yards, etc. around.

There is a marine liquidator in FM. Depends on what your looking for...no Seacraft stuff. You must know your prices. All parts are new.

The Dania Flea Market is this weekend..
It is a quick trip across the state from where you
are to Dania....
If you want deals, this would be worth your while.

See ya, Ken

I hit the dania flea market last time, but was kind of bummed out by the selection/prices ratio. There was some cool stuff, but it was very expensive. I guess if you are going to pack something up and carry it somewhere to display, you have to make sure you get what it's worth. There was a car show across the street though, which was awesome. Huge Detroit muscle, a few old italian cars. Good mix.

I will check out that other spot and report back. I need:
swivel rod holders
popup cleats
trim tabs
regular cleats/chocks
etc.

I went to the Dania this year and was disappointed. In my own mind I thought that last year was a better mix. This year seemed to be all very used stuff.

This is just my opinion

I live in N Ft Myers. Depends on what you consider good. As stated, no Seacraft stuff.

The one I know is Marine Trading post in NFM, old us 41 just north of the Edison Bridge in an old post office near intersection of old 41 and Pondella. Kinda pricey at times but lots of old stuff.

Also there is a discount marine place on Palm Beach Blvd on the one-way section of PBB near Billys Creek Bridge near the high rise appts, forget the name.

If you visit the Marine Trading Post in NFM, go just a little farther north and visit Lehrs Economy Tackle, the best/oldest one in the area. Dave Westra there has forgotten more than most people will ever know about fishing this area.

edit DOH! Islandtrader listed the one on Palm Beach.
