Cabela's Ottawa

Wow - shocked a little about the Lebarons closing post from Rhybak, so I did a quick search and found this...

To bad, but I get the challenge about going up against the big competition (Cabelas, Sail, ...).

LOL...That is where I got my information from.

Oh wow, that's too bad.....

For the Ottawa folks, I popped into LeBarons today about noon - lots of GIANT signs that say up to 50% off... the entire fishing section (rods/reels and all lures, line, etc.) is only 20% off and the shelves/stock-pegs are starting to be have holes.

Did I find anything great I had to have to justify standing in the 50 person line-up at the cash?  Nope... walked out 15 minutes later past the line-up. 

I was honestly looking to buy a new spinner reel as one of my reel's drag is not functioning... would I go back if the fishing gear was 50% off?  Absolutely!!... but not mid-day on a Saturday!

P.S. Still haven't made it out to Cabela's... anybody go lately?

@Greg thanks for the LeBarons update....
We're hoping to hit Cabela's on the way to camp again this Friday.

For a bass guy Cabela's isn't impressive, for walleye they have everything and reasonable I thought. You can buy bulk bags of jigheads, ones I want are never in stock!!

LeBarons was a great store when I lived close to one, they are a ma & pa type of business, new big box stores run a better business model and unfortunately one of my fav chains has to close.
