Gossip: Wal-Mart thinking lesser of the fisherman
May not be new news, but a fella that works in sporting goods said they were told yesterday in a meeting that they were cutting the fishing tackle inventory by 50% in 1,200 stores from September thru Feburary, and discontinuing fishing tackle all together in several more. Not that Wal-Mart sporting goods is somewhere to spend hours looking and wishing like BPS, Cabelas, or Sportsman's Warehouse, but when it's about all you got for at least some fishing stuff without having to drive 80 miles to one of the big outdoors shops, it does come in handy every once in a while. Handy place to hang out when I do go with the wife to buy groceries.
I know Sept - Feb are months where a lot of folks don't think about fishing, but that excludes me. I understand seasonal inventory, but I've got other opinions on where to go "lean" in that store. Wonder if any of them Walton heirs ever been fishin', anyway?
Guess they need more room for Christmas decorations..........that they start putting out before Halloween!!!!
If I Ain't Crappie Fishin', I'm Thinkin' About It............
