Secret Shopper (editorial field note)

Planning note: write target species and water body before you queue—staff can tune leaders fast when you are honest about skill and gear already in the truck. Pair this stop with marine provisions when you need ice and boat-day bait in one loop.

Serious editorial assessment using public licensing categories, service-area claims, and how Ocean City–area property owners typically use electrical contractors—not a paid mystery shop, hidden site visit, or verified trade inspection. Use it alongside Google, Yelp, and BBB snapshots for context, not as a warranty or bid.
