Reader’s Choice: Best Sporting Goods Store

With spring here, locals are participating in a variety of sports. But where do you go to get your needed supplies?

April is here and kids across the North Fork and Riverhead are playing baseball, softball, lacrosse and soccer. The warm weather also brings out the bikers, boaters and sport fishers. While youngsters need cleats, bats, lacrosse sticks and gloves, the warm weather also brings out the bikers, boaters and sport fishers. This week, Patch wants to know what sporting goods store you trust to buy your needed gear.

Readers’ Choice is a weekly feature where we ask you – our readers – to tell us your top picks on the businesses and local attractions that get your loyalty.

Each Monday we’ll list our nominees recommendations. Did we leave your go-to spot off the list? Go ahead and add it in comments.

On Friday we’ll tabulate all of the poll votes, comments, recent directory reviews and emails and crown a Reader’s Choice. Please only vote once in the poll, because any attempt to game the results could end up in your favorite businesses being disqualified.

Voting results posted in real time shall not be deemed official until Patch has reviewed and confirmed all of the votes.

Here are our nominees:

  • Jamesport Bait and Tackle
  • Edwards Sports Center

Jamesport Bait and Tackle!!

Wait a minute. You don't have Edwards Sports in Riverhead? Honesty?
The topic of the poll is "Reader’s Choice: Best Sporting Goods Store," you have Eagle's Neck Paddling, Shelter Island Kayak Tours, but not Edwards... which is actually a real sporting store, not a kayak tour operator.

Hello -
Thanks for commenting and bringing that to our attention. For some reason those businesses weren't in our directory. We'll work to get that fixed. In the meantime we did plug them into the poll, so feel free to vote. - Joe Associate Regional Editor, Patch

once it is moved, it needs to be tuned, no one is going to help you with the moving costs.

And, now that we know how easy it is to thwart the law, we must wonder...how many potentialRead More terrorists are residing here, thanks to breaks in our security system? Maybe the Mexico/U.S. border shouldn't be our top priority.

even worse?...When I had the publisher of North Fork Magazine contact me regarding the blatantRead More violation, what were his comments?? To add further insult to injury, he said & I quote: "I thought I was doing Greenport a favor...all of the businesses there are suffering...this paper doesn't make any money...sure I have advertisers but they don't pay their invoices...maybe if the cover of the magazine brings business to Greenport, maybe those merchants will pay their bill.."

Better yet, rather than pay mag's invoice. send $$$ to Artist.
Scotty June 16, 2013 at 08:41 pm
And he really still doesn't see that he's stealing from the artist to 'bring business to Greenport'?Read More The effrontery of his comment leaves me aghast. Of ALL people who should grasp the concept of plagiarism and copyright laws, it should be a newspaper editor/publisher! Cropping out her signature proves they knew full well that they were stealing her work. I'd suggest the artist contact a copyright attorney pronto. I'm always astonished when something like this occurs when a simple phone call to the artist might have been successful in allowing him to use her work WITH her signature intact instead of doing something so underhanded.
