Jordan and I are saddened to announce that we will be temporarily shutting the doors at ADK Rod and Tackle.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation to every single one of you for the tremendous support you have shown us.
Due to our current commitments to our full-time jobs and spending time with our loved ones, we are unable to devote the necessary time to maintain our desired level of bait production.
Please note that this is not a permanent goodbye, but rather a temporary pause.
We will continue to provide support to our outstanding pro staff team, ensuring they have everything they need as the tournament season gets underway.
In a remarkably short period of time, we have accomplished more than we ever thought possible, and we attribute this success to the support of our families, friends, and community.
Until we are ready to resume our journey, we encourage you all to continue "Exploring the Adirondacks, One Catch at a Time."
From the bottom of our hearts, we can’t thank you enough.
And a special thanks to our wives , Jennifer, and Sam. Who have shown us the most outstanding support and being the best moms to our little ones while we were chasing our dream.
Thank you SO MUCH ❤️
Andy Gates
