I must be sick

[Jimmyz123]

My family and I went to Vegas for the weekend, my wife played in a Slot tournament and my son and I spent probably 8 hour a day for 3 days at Bass Pro Shop. Here's why I say, "I must be sick." I got bored being at BPS for so long and so many days. Sure I spent over $150 on things, but that's all my budget would allow. I was able to make up a really nice Christmas list, but at the same time all I could think about was helping the local shops like OEX, and others here in San Diego.

So my question to you all, is it possible to spend too much time at a fishing store?

Bass Pro Shops never really excites me as most the stores close to us dont carry half of what I want to see (although it is almost all hunting that I look for at these places). Cabelas is a little better.

With online shopping now days stores get kind of boring after a while and I find myself checking out the mounts and fish tanks more than anything.

That's exactly what I was doing. We were playing with the Archery sets, and checking out all the Christmas stuff for the kids. I'm usually good for a 2 hour visit there, but 3 days, way too long.

Matt Moyer said it best to me the other day.... this fishing thing is an addiction. He said we all have enough "stuff" to go catch fish right now with what we have in the garage.

you know what, he's right! just go fish.

Whoa, wait.....WHAT?? But I don't think I'll catch anything until I stock up on AT LEAST a couple dozen more swimbaits and jigs!

I like the BPS in Vegas better than the one in Rancho. The ceiling display is awesome! I took lots of pictures there to use as reference in my drawings.

BPS is way over rated. Their prices aren't really that good either.
