Does anybody know if Bass Pro Shops in Utica has any ice fishing stuff out yet?

I order all my tackle from FishUSA. I'm just looking to buy a shanty.

Not a fan of BPS at all. Way over priced. I can find anything I need for the ice from plenty of other suppliers,and a lot cheaper. Search around, and I'm sure you will too,brother.

I know BPS is pricey but believe it or not they have the best price on the shanty I want to get. They beat GanderMTN's price by $30.

For whatever reason, you are all correct. If its a shanty BPS stocks, I have found
them to have very competitive pricing plus no shipping! They were $50 less than
GM on my Clam thermal Scout X last year. But tackle pricing... lets just say Pimples
are 2x the price of FishUSA with half the color/size choices. And FishUSA's free shipping on
orders> $30 makes it a no brainer.

PS - Auburn BPS has about 6 shelters on display. Flips, hubs and the
hybrid Bay Runner. I would say they are 75% ice ready.

See e-bay. They have great prices right now on factory second Eskimo shantys. I got one last year at half price, nothing wrong with it.

Iordered my shanty from BPS online. They didn't have it in store but, you can't beat free ship to store. Saves over $100 in shipping costs.  @)

Can't say about shanties, but for everything else,
Gander in New Hartford has a better selection.. Unless you go to BPS in Auburn.
