Sports Authority store closings
Stopped in the Piscataway store on a search for camping stuff. Saw the fishing sign. Mostly ice fishing stuff. Picked up a bunch of jigs, weights, spoons etc! All 40% off!

Re: Sports Authority store closings
They used to have a larger section of fishing stuff. I remember buying a bunch of Rapala lures there. Sadly those days are long and gone. Sports authority got rid of everything a few years ago to make more room for storing bikes

Re: Sports Authority store closings
The fishing department in the West Long Branch store was repurposed into a *shudder* GOLF CENTER!

No big loss in terms of access to fishing equipment. The ones by me stopped selling fishing and hunting gear a long time ago. The closest thing to fishing gear they sold were cheap eggshell thin plastic kayaks. .

Re: Sports Authority store closings
And the Fishing Department always looked like it was set up by staff wearing blindfolds. They used to send me $10 gift cards every spring I'd use to buy free Roostertails for trout season. That was my extent of using them for fishing stuff.
For my kid's sporting goods it kind of sucks we lose the store they just opened in Flemington which was an easy trip.

Re: Sports Authority store closings
Same here I used to get those gift cards for $10 also. It's a bummer we won't be seeing those anymore. Oh well there's plenty of other stores to go to!

Re: Sports Authority store closings
SA has been pretty worthless over the past few years as far as fishing gear. My daughter worked for them about 8 years ago and at the time she told me that they were moving away from outdoors gear and keying on clothing, to compete with Modells. Apparently she was right. I guess they can't sell enough $90 sports teams jerseys and over priced Under Armor to make a go of it. SA deserves to die. I only hope a Dicks takes over my local SA location when it goes under.

Re: Sports Authority store closings
Instead of mentioning the big box stores, we should really support our local site sponsors who pay to advertise on this site
