[Captain Rich]

I'm all for supporting my local tackle shops, and I've got the bills to prove it, but show me which one carries my shooting supplies, specialty clothes (float coat), and the snake boots I wear when slogging around Florida swamps ?? We need the big shops too. Johnny Morris (Bass Pro) had been a terrific advocate for recreational fisherman, sponsored many tournaments, and keeps many captains, anglers, tackle manufacturers and boat builders employed. The World Wide Sportsman (Bass Pro) in Islamorada has a marina behind it which keeps a whole fleet of charter captains working. Tracker Boats is owned by Bass Pro, they make boats here in the USA. Never met a salesperson in the fishing department at Bass Pro who didn't know what they were talking about. Nothing is as quite black and white as some posting here would like to believe.
