D & K Bait Bags
Debora and Kenneth Samson run a business out of their home in the village of Little Anse. Fishing has been a tradition in this region of Isle Madame on the south coast of Cape Breton Island since the 1500s. While net making and mending is as old as the community, the bait bags Kenneth invented are new. They hold bait inside lobster and crab traps, safe from predators.
The Samsons have a good local customer base and every year, through word of mouth, they get a few more customers. Now, with high-speed Internet access, they have built a website, www.baitbags.ca, to showcase their products and expand their business. With the world at her fingertips, Debora sees no limit to how much business can grow.
