Geez. That is a big-ass store.

I went tonight to the new Cabela's. The crowd was big, the store has great eye-appeal, and they have an assload of stuff.

But, and of course there's a but........they need to get their heads on straight about just where this store is located. Stink bait and barracuda rigs just aren't going to sell in these parts......neither are 20 cent apiece corkies. IMO they need to shrink the warmwater selection and increase the salmon/trout/steelhead inventory. More floats, more spoons, more plugs, more corkies/cheaters/spin-n-glos, more jigs........just more locally demanded stuff.

That said, the deals they had on some items were awesome. Clothing, boots, hats, gloves.....any apparel was deeply discounted. I found a few things I couldn't live without, checked out the store and scooted out of there because the crowd was making me want to climb the walls. There was a boatload of money spent there tonight.........they'll need to keep that kind of thing going to pay for that store, even though it's not on par with the larger Cabela's stores around the country.

The staff was everywhere and quite helpful. What they know about fishing and hunting stuff I can't tell you, but they were polite and attentive even with a gazillion people in the store.

Be advised......you have a minimum of three.........go ahead and count 'em...... THREE traffic circles to negotiate to get to the store from the Marvin Road exit from I-5, and judging by the number of numbskulls that ccouldn't negotiate a traffic circle on my way there tonight, Friday will be an absolute clusterf*ck. So, if you go Friday, good luck with that.
