Bass Pro Opening!!
So who is planning on going??? I have never been to one but it looks like the kind of place you could kill a couple hours with no trouble! Hope they were smart enough to add a huge saltwater section???
|
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

From one of the managers who will be working there; the saltwater section will be "mind blowing". I cant wait. Good prices close by amazing selection. I will buy my stuff there that I normally buy in catalogs. BUT I will still support the little guy with most of my everyday regular purchases.

I drove in there last weekend.
Though I couldn't go inside, the place is amazing!
They took down the construction tents in the parking lot and have cleared all the construction stuff from the lot, so I'm guessing they are opening any day now ???

Guys LOVE to shop....we just don't like to shop for Clothes, Furniture, and Food (here is where I add the Spence Disclaimer  )

the grand opening is tonight at 6:30. I was bummed they werent giving more things away at the grand opening. I will take the kids there tomorrow night to walk around. There is a freswater aquarioum, waterfall and a turtle pond. Should be cool to check out .
LL Bean opens in Mansfield this weekend too.

I will pick up a few things from there that I may ordinarily get online or catalogs but 90% of my biz will remain with the local shops as always...

Its hard to match the service we get from Mike T at M+D's.
Except for hard to find stuff , I doubt I'll buy tackle there. I do like to buy boots and jackets etc form places like Bass Pro and LLBean. They can carry a big selection and all the sizes that a smaller place just has no room for.
LLBeane in Mansfield opens friday I think.
Nice to have these stores nearby now.

I heard Matt Light, Mike Vrabel and Rodney Harrison. Plus some past players. Only remember Steve Nelson. I'm sure there's others. |

if the llbeane in mansfield is anything like the one in burlington, your better off just ordering from the catalogue. unless you can go at 9 am on a weekday, you can't even get a parking spot. even if you do, your in line for 45 minutes to checkout. |

Cabelas = Clothing for being outdoors
Bass Pro = some hard to find items like 4 lb braid and freshwater stuff
LLBean = Fleece world
M&D'S & Red Top = I could not live without. If your a Striper fisherman you will still need these guys 90% of the time.
Bass Pro is an experience though, thier fresh popped popcorn is great and the store is a visual playland.
My way of looking at it is I will no longer mind taking the wife to Wrentham to shop cause now I have somewhere to escape to for a couple hours to play with stuff I like while she shops. It will beat the snot out of hanging off of a clothes rack, waiting while she trys on fifteen outfits, then comes out without buying anything.

Why even try.........

has anybody been to the cabela's in harford? I've heard their stores are pretty damn cool too....
I'll still check out Bass Pro though, probably further into the winter when the hype has died down

I look at basspro as strictly a freshwater place for me. The local B&T's just don't carry anything major for freshwater.
Now M&D's and Surfland are where I would probably get 90% of my Saltwater gear....your just not going to find custom wood at a basspro.......

There is no acceptable time for any grown man to say anything is "cute". Unless it's with your friends making fun of another guy who said it. Even then, you have to use a very sarcastic feminine sounding voice to be sure as to not be ridiculed yourself.  |
