R.I.P. Onalaska Gander... again.
« on: Sep 27, 2019, 12:58 AM »
40% off everything but guns and ammo, I'm hoping they still have ice fishing stuff in the back to bring out.

the gander that is going out of business in portage mi has 50% off now. i went thru it and bought what i wanted and they did have ice fishing gear out. every thing that goes on pegs is on a zip strips to keep that item together.
bought some 13 fishing rods and combos cheap.

Glad you came out good.  Just got back and either this has been going on for a while and I didn't get the memo or they shipped a lot of the more in demand items to stores that are staying open.  Virtually all the fishfinders were gone.  No rods except Diawa and Sankana.  They did have a Panoptix I think but they may have that on clearance so its 15% not 40.  And pretty much no ice gear except for a shack and a few accesories.

the coldwater mi store is sending merchandise to the portage store to get rid of stock. so the stores staying open near you should be doing the same thing by sending to the closing store. could be worth revisiting.

In that area I'd rather fish Scheels anyway. Island Bait, etc.

That's nice but there is no Scheels anywhere near here.
