    Heard from a Walmart Supplier that the Fishing department is going to be "seasonal" just like lawn and garden. Look for big clearances this fall then reduced stocking and aisle space next spring.

    Maybe sponsor money is in short supply. Could this mean the end of one of the BIG pro tournament circuits?
    What would pro fishing tournaments look like if everyone had to paid their entry fees like we do? It would not suprise me if one of these circuits closes down in the next year or two.
    Not sure which one would survive. Have you seen lower turn outs at your local events?

    I have noticed a few less anglers at the events that I like to attend. Talked to a few of them and they say that it is GAS prices. HUH Imagine that!!

    They are probably going to outsource it to China. Like they have everything else. I say let them go. someone will step up just like when Citgo (Chavez) got out of BASS.

    That was the big rumor at the Claasic last Feb. I had talked to Mark Davis (who was moving from FLW to B.A.S.S.) and he said he heard the same rumor....wink....wink.

    I hate Walmart I wish I could keep my wife out of that China loving rat hole. Companies like Walmart are part of what's wrong with this country. Sorry for the rant but it justs hits a nerve.

    Wal-Mart only gives us what we want. No one is forced to shop there, but we do because we'd rather save 7 cents on a box of laundry detergent than care about where a product is made.

    I feel the same way when people complain about our politicians. "We The People" only get what we want and deserve.

    Alright you make a good point but who do you vote for when Larry. Curly, and Moe are running for office.

    Barrack HUSSEIN Obama= Curly
    Billary ROB'EM Clinton= Larry
    John McCain= Moe
    A. Do I vote at all ?
    B. Do I vote for the best of three stooges ?
    C. Or last move to foreign country and become recluse ?
    If you have a clear cut choice for me, I'd love to hear it.........

    As a fan of tournament fishing I never liked FLW weigh-ins and didn't care for their t.v.show so if it came down to BASS and FLW I say see ya FLW.
