I remember hearing the rumors about 6-8 months ago that they were looking at land around that area. About the only thing I could see myself buying there would be waders and thats if they had a killer sale. Tough to stop in that area for me, at that point I can taste the Cape.

And ditto to BobT's idea about Mike at M&D's....is a salesman at BassPro going to say "swing by the shop and Ill show you how to do chevrons".......not in this lifetime.....more likely response at BP would be...."chevrons? you in the army?"

I bet you guys did not know that Abuchon Hardware stores are now BPS dealers. Abuchon signed a long tearm deal with Bass Pro a few months ago. They will be able to sell most everything available by Bass Pro.

WOW...........now I can buy nails and darters at the same place !!!! And if I want to change the color of the darter, I can buy the paint. What else is next?

Bass pro sucks. I'd quit fishing before spending a dime there!!!

I have been to the shops in Lauderdale, FL and Grapevine TX. I like the selection and strolling around. But I don't think the understand the local needs. Do you think we will see a Van Staal there?

Definitely. I've already ramped up, I carry EVERY style and color of VS reel. I already match or beat their prices so selection in certain products is next...

I'd have to think that they will also carry "local" lures, I think they're smart enough to do it. I'd be amazed if they don't at least offer Gibbs there.

good thing i can think of for having a cabela's or a bass pro shop locally is when they have these huge environment's (wildlife displays) or fish tanks
that attract the public and promote hunting and fishing.
