Thumbs down Sports Authority

So I go to check out my local Sports Authority after their months long remodel...

They no longer have a fishing department.

Where it once stood is a golf department complete with fake grass.

Needless to say, I was thoroughly disappointed. Their fishing department wasn't much to begin with, but I would sometimes stop in for a few sundries, and it was always fun seeing if they had anything on clearance. Is this just unique to the store in West Long Branch by me, or has anyone else noticed this?

As good as can be with the crappy weather lately. Been trying for some early season bass, but the wind has been shutting everything down. By now things have usually busted wide open. Next week looks good to get the fish going!

I will check the one in Iselin and Piscataway. I too loved seeins what was on clearance there. I wanted to get a couple of beater surf reels so I picked up a Quantum Bluerunner for 14 bucks once. Their selection is always garbage and their non-clearance prices for fishing were comically high but still fun to walk through once or twice.

Its for all stores. They are phasing them out slowly. Brick is the only one left in the immediate area. By brother in-law is a manager for them.
