By 1990, Willie had ‘retired’ to Florida and left the charter business for Ricky to manage. Ricky had done well on the water but called his dad with an idea of opening a small tackle shop in Callao, VA on the main road leading to the water. Willie was already tired of retirement and came up to Virginia to help his son open the doors of R.W.’s Sport Shop. The first Saturday they were open they both were blown away by how busy they were. This started out as something for the two of them to do when they were not chartering. Soon, dad was running the store while Ricky captained the boat.

In less than a year they knew they needed a bigger place and the land the current store sits on came up for sale. The following year they put up the building and today they have gone from a simple tackle shop with some saltwater bait, tackle and t-shirts to a 10,000+ square foot Hunting and Fishing Supply store with everything from Turkey calls and duck decoys to guns and ammo to umbrella rigs and Rod & Reels.
