Guys LOVE to shop....we just don't like to shop for Clothes, Furniture, and Food (here is where I add the Spence Disclaimer  )
I could spend Hours poking around Kittery Trading Post, #^&#^&#^&#^&s Sporting Goods or Kappy's Liquors  |

all i can say is... WOW!
i have never seen so many grown men look like little kids on their first trip to toy-r-us!
big ole grins from ear to ear. and that child like wonder look in their eyes. seeing father and sons be equally as excited at all the sites was great!
my friend and i walked around for 3 hours. i honestly dont remember what was even in there. so overwhelming! 
i cant wait for the crowds to thin out a bit.
it's not gonna replace the local places as far as day to day fishing for me. but i'll be damned if it isn't a great place to spend saturday ""browsing"" around. it's not really browsing so much as tinkering with anything and everything in reach.
it was great though. if ever i felt at home in a big corporate store it was there. between the sounds of running water and bird calls, and the sight of fishing and hunting gear and trophies all over. just amazing. definitely get out there and check it out when you can.
p.s.- any body know what they are doing out back? they appear to have something planned. they were building a brook today.. and have game replicas further out in the marsh area. |

Curiosity got the best of me I took a ride up.
What I found was some nice prices on clothing, very little saltwater tackle, the fly shop was very week.
I am sure it will improve once they get a handle on the local needs?
I will continue to spend my money with the local shops.

Support your local fly shops.
The flyfishing Dept was very weak. I'm sure they'll improve it but I'm going to support my local flyshops. I like the personal service that I get from the local shop. In addition the local shop has local knowledge. FishHawk

More expensive than Bear's Den.
That said they actually carry Yozuri Hybrid line.
They have Calcuttas IN STOCK.
Eff those who stopped carrying Hybrid.  |

Exactly what I thought.... Still better than Wal-mart...
wife did buy me a Christmas present...a mustang self inflating life vest..she KNOWS I wont wear my Mustang float coat all the time, too bulky and hot in mid summer... Me, the last of the big spenders, I bought two yellow bucktails (only because I was totaly out) and a package of 60lb duo lock snaps...
Of coarse I got dragged to the chrismas tree shop and bed bath and beyond.... that place set me back $50......as if she needed one more Turkey platter, gravey bowls set, sheets and Misc Crap! |

I heard that they were building a man-made lake and conservation area for fishing and to have a picnic etc. They have lots of other stuff still to do there too. Next fall, they are opening the Pats Hall of Fame, a 14-theater cinema, a 500 seat entertainment spot, a couple restaurants and a 4-star Marriott. Should be something when it's done!!! |
