Bass Pro Shops
 

I was in Bass Pro Shops this past Sunday to grab a few things I need for the up coming season. The parking lot was jammed, the store was full, and the lines at the registers were 4 or 5 people deep. I hope this means the economy is coming back! :soon:

I went on saturday and the place was empty, as was the rack of pliers i was looking for. I missed the reel trade in by a few days, that would have been the only way to get a VS on "sale", too bad they didnt have any in stock.

The one in Foxboro?

Sunday at 5 pm.... Ghost town

rob... buy your VS online, saving you hefty sales tax... and another thing many people dont know is that many online merchants will slightly lower a price and waive shipping if you simply ask... A sale is a sale...merchants are willing to negotiate online I have found... (not just fishing either). slightly lower profit margin beats NO profit margin...

We were in there Saturday and it was pretty busy. Caught the tube and worm seminar and took off. Struck out on most of what we were looking for but killed a day with dad and my son

Don't go on gameday, my wife's best friend has worked there since the open and absolutely refuses to work on gameday anymore.

The store has done very well since it opened.

All we need is a Cabela's now, and we'll be good to go.

Were you able to actually find a few useful things there? I met up with Eric down there yesterday with $40 to spend in points from my CC. Couldn't find a single useful thing I wanted.

The nissan thermos you want is there :uhuh:

Alright. One useful item.

Camo Brasseire?

I visited my son in West Hartford a couple of weeks ago and stopped by the CT Cabela's for the first time. It was Saturday and the place was jammin'. I can't recall seeing more potbellied guys in camoflage in any one place before.

The one in Maine is cool too.

Never got the camo wearing in real world program.

Plenty of useful stuff there...all kinds of Freshwater gear...I go there to get hooks and other terminal tackle for fresh as well as rubbah and lures.

also I enjoy Camp cooking and they have a decent selection of Cast iron cookware....not as good as Cabelas...but I think their Fishing department is better than Cabelas.

I don't buy much there because their selection of plugs sucks, but I enjoy taking my son. He loves playing the target shooting game and he likes looking at all the taxidermy stuff. I'm planning on getting back into freshwater fishing this spring, so I'll probably pick up some stuff there for that. They also carry some decent clothes and footwear. I grabbed my wife a Northface Fleece last time I was there.

Also, the one in Foxboro is close to Red Robin, so I can take my son and kill some time before heading over to RR for a burger.

I went today and picked up a 1lb spool of 30lb big game, and a pair of Browning pliers. the plier were regularly 49 but they were on sale for 24.95. We will see how they last.

i feel like a fish in there
 

as in......


who's catchin who? :huh:

their Salt water plug selection leaves much to be desired.

It's a great place to spend time with the family,my kids like the target range and my son likes to snoop around the gun counter,the clothes section is pretty cool but I have come to the conclusion that there salwater stuff sux the big one.


I have yet to try Red Robin how is it?

Good, take the bank book

its ok, fun with kids and fmaily, burgers are a 6 out of 10 with a big variety. The onion ring tower is cool. I enjoy 5 guys more.

I think I missed BPs flyer? I was waiting for the big spring sale, I usually stock up on oil for the boat.

Yup same here I didn't get the flyer as well......Im not really too bummed about it anyway I would have bought more clothes than salt stuff.

I'll have to try R R with the family,I have also never been to 5 Guys I've heard good things,but still haven't ventured.
