OEX on Mission Bay - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Jim Sammons LJKF · 07-09-2009, 08:52 AM

Stopped by the new OEX on Mission Bay, in what used to be the sailing center. All I can say is WOW what a change, these guys have worked their butts off to make this an incredible shop. Anyone who ever was in the shop before will not recognize it. They have every thing you need there, except Ocean Kayak

.
Great job Brent and crew, I wish you all the luck in the new location.

Yep, but like I said you won't recognize it. It looks AWESOME

Thanks Jim! We all worked hard to get it up a running. Gorgeous location.

No Ocean Kayaks... the humanity! Im sure it has everything to do with the proximity other dealers.

This is great. Now when you need something you paddle over and get it.
A shop right where you need it.
Now put one by the launch at shelter island.

Alright, the cat's out of the bag.

We're still getting settled in but we're up and running for the most part. We'll need another week or so to have the place presentable for a Grand Opening / BBQ/ Tournament / TBD but keep your eyes peeled for the official announcement.

btw- thanks for everybody's support over the years, this shop is the result of a lot of loyal yak fishermen through some tough times.

Chris,

You've gotta love that New baby sitting job you have now

I think you have enough room for another

Stopped by yesterday to check the place out - talk about a showroom! Full of all the good stuff, some of which went home attached to a pair of the family's yaks. Thanks CJ. Nice to see Brian back from the chilly NW too. Welcome home.

I love a good kayak or fishing shop. This one's top tier.
