Just wanted to get stove gas for my new Coleman stove. Always wanted one cuz its just a lot safer n easier to just set n light. Im actually impressed they have them at a woping $1 !! Everybody else is like $10 up on line of 3-7 in some stores. I only bought 2 for now. Still need to test it for later. I been buying my camping kit little by little now that im getting my body back in shape. Want to do some primitive camping but i think ill do the regular one for now until i trust my body to do this in nowhere. Did not know we got camp for free or under 10$ buck a night in primitive camping. Bro i been bummed out for nothing! Got a small mess kit thay will fit a small to medium backpack. Doesnt weight anything. Its perfect. Grabbed a rod holder im just going to tie on a tree or dock. Before leaving i hunted down a new pair of shoes. The mayority i own for adevnture and exploring are too heavy gor my medical nightmare. Francheska was amazing and help me out looking for good deals and perfect shoes. Walked out with a rugged crisscross type. Needed something light, durable and that held my ankle in place. I think they are Cabelas brand ones they were like $35 discounted. Lets say free cuz it finally happened. I used all my member points today lol killed most of my things. Then on the way out i donated to the Boy scouts of America. I was talking with the madam there that its crazy the Girls scouts got like cookies n cakes but the boys got popcorn? It make me crabby! They need jerky and rootbeer! We need like a health brand to make them like protein bars or something like that. Overall i had fun and survived not over buying, they got a crap ton of camping food at buy 2 get 1 free. But i fixed that by buying a dehydrator many years ago. If i had a freeze dryer? I would never need to buy anything in storm season and beyond. Easy camp food: make soups and stews. Then pour into dehydrator or high wall cookie pan and shove in oven as 176-245 degrees. Peel off the dried soup and shove into a zip lock or vacuum seal bag with a humidity packet. U can keep frozen without the packet for long time but these last perfectly for camping. Just add warm water and it rehydrates. Too much work? Then buy the specials its good. They usually 12$+ each bag feeds like two people or give you two meals. Which you can just open and reseal in smaller bags that way they last way longer n you camp longer. I think ill wait for fall to camp i want to take my iesel out and paint the beautiful yellow leaves. Maybe someone will trade me a watercolor for a beer lol read more

Bass Pro Shops - Comfy cozy. 11.07.2025 - Boating Near Me - Tampa, Florida

We came in for the free kids fishing event that they had going on this past weekend. Online it said that they started at 10 AM but when we arrived one of the people told us, it didn't start until 11and that we would be meeting on the other side of the building. We walked around the store for a while until it finally got closer to time. We walked out there and It wasn't too bad at first we got signed up and we noticed it was a little unorganized. More people started to show up and it was hot out. Another issue was where they had us for fishing, it was kind of grassy and the families were kind of close together with no directions. It became hard to get the line out for the littles. I appreciate a free event, especially to get the kids an experience. Just wish it was a little bit more organized maybe with an online sign-up would have helped. read more

Visiting Bass Pro Shops with our grandson have become a thing- especially for Grandpa John and Riley, but sometimes I get to tag along too. We were fortunate to find that our St Augustine location had an entire "North Pole" set up and knew to look at the one in Tampa too- and yes, they had games, crafts and Santa, ready for photos! We played a few shooting games and browsed the store. I love this shop for all the outdoor hobbies! And apparel to go with those outdoor adventures! read more

No sunglasses under $59. Kind of surprised by that seeing it has all things fishing. But apparently they only let Sunglass Hut sell the glasses. They should offer a cheap pair for fishermen or sailors who just need a quick pair. But the rest of the store was amazing. Had a nice visit. Plenty of parking. Good inventory. Bought 3 items and think I will be happy with them. There were plenty of salespeople on the floor to help you if needed. Great concept.(but have some cheap sunglasses) read more

Hard to find help. Things missing from shelf. People not engaged. Don't have events anymore. Not the Bass Pro it used to be.

Been to Bass Pro Shops a few times for Xmas Pics and Easter Pics. The reservation system is quite easy online and when you get there you do not have to wait too long. They take one free pic. You can take them on your phone as well and they have pic packages you can buy from if you want. The Santa set up is festive and nice and the Easter Set up is simple but still thoughtful. So happy we can go here and get pics with our furbaby Mocha Coconut and enjoy them for years to come. read more

First I am an avid fisherman/person and Bass Pro Shop is one of my favorite stores. So this is a hard review to write. I purchase a Plano 7771 tackle box less than a year ago. Recently, I noticed that the top (plastic cover) started to warp. Now it won't close at all and this makes the top shelf unusable because everything in the top will fall out when accessing the shelf below. I thought no problem I'll go to Bass Pro Shop and they will stand behind there items that they sell. Nope, I was told that there is a 60 day return policy (by Plano) and that Bass Pro Shop would do nothing in either return or replace. The cost of the tackle box was approximately $100. The salesperson said that she understood that there should be some compensation but not from BPS. Can someone explain to me why a tackle box, that spends days in the sun should warp. read more

I love walking into Bass Pro Shops. I'm not a fisherman, hunter or any kind of sports person, I despise being outdoors for long. But the decor inside and out of their buildings is fascinating from the animal tracks imprinted along the cement walkways to the pond with fake ducks and the boats parked in the doorways those touches are creative enough to make visits seem adventurous. But i come for the novelties specifically their old fashioned candy. They carry Claeys hard candies in many flavors which is a bit hard to find elsewhere. My two stars is for unfriendly service. The employees here are not friendly to everyone, only to those they are familiar with as in frequent patrons or maybe their friends? The cashier checking me out never looked at me once, looking around instead and throwing comments at me. No greeting, no welcome, no thank you for spending your money with us. I felt very dismissed. Not cool. I would say that I'd never go back, but they have Claeys. read more

Placed an order and came to pick up and they could not find all of it. They said they refunded the shirt and can not find one item. Now running around and no one seems to know where it is.

What has happened to this store ? The people that work there seem mad not friendly at all. Also I've been coming here for 10 years ,always chatting with the guys in Hunting Department. All new unhappy faces. This is a shame. It used to be a friendly staff that took time with you. Not anymore. Even the people that ring you up are bordering on rude. This was my 3rd time in , in the last couple months and terrible each time. Like I said, a real shame. read more

Due to my employment I have a protected address and therefore have a personal mailbox on my govt issued ID. They would not even run my application through the ATF to purchase a new firearm because I did not have a "brick and morter" address. Even though this ID was issued BY THE GOVT. The ATF has approved my purchases many times in the past from other stores using the address shown on my ID. Basspro Tampa is NOT LEO friendly.

I went in today after going to top golf. I enjoy walking around and seeing what they have in their store but what I am not a fan of is going in and getting asked to join a time share! The gentleman today was very good and knowledgeable but I was not interested! I am of the mind set that don't approach me I'll approach you.. a lady got us for something like it as we came in front door! All I want to do is shop and be left alone. If I ask what the deal is then yes by all means tell me all about it. I enjoy seeing the aquarium, walking around in the guns see what prices are.. I like the boats and even the clothes.. but I don't like them asking me about timeshares.. read more

This place is the worse the will not answer the phone tried calling there 6 times customer service picks up the phone and hangs it up. Took me like an hour to get to talk to someone. Was going to buy a chip for a Garman depth finder because they sold me the wrong one in the first place I was taking a hit on that one. They said if I bought it it was non refundable so I said can I bring my unit there and make sure it's the right one and that it works and they said if the chip was. Opened I still had to pay for it. I have spent in the. neighbor hood of $4500.00 in the last year and they can't puta chip in and make sure it is the right one after they gave me the wrong one in the first place read more

I love to go to BPS whenever I visit another city, mostly for the taxidermy and their giant aquariums. I expected an exceptional tank here in Tampa, but found it less exciting than most other locations. None the less, I enjoyed the array of mounts, and like most BPS, they have a great selection of sporting goods. Huge, Massive parking lot, clean, ample accessible bathrooms, a great rest stop certainly. read more

Will never purchase a firearm from this business again. No one there listens or understands plain English. I bought a fire arm and after the 3 day waiting period they still refused to give me the firearm bc of the county ordinance . While I agree there is an ordinance , it plainly states that law enforcement is exempt from the 5 day waiting period. Counter sales person, "compliance manager " , manager , and someone called a "gun vault expert" all concluded that even tho I had full credentials and came in with my badge , I still had to wait the 5 days. I have attached the ordinance for reference. read more

This place is the Disney for the outdoorsman! They even have theme park turnstiles as you walk in, although I'm not sure why?? The store is huge and very well organized. If you are into fishing, hunting, camping, archery, or in need of clothes for any of those sports this is the place. They seem well stocked in each of these particular sections. They also sell men and women's clothing. I also saw a small shoe dept. selling some sandals, sneakers and boots. There was a interesting snack area where they sold all kinds of candies and food items. There is also a restaurant at this store which I haven't been to yet. All in all it was interesting to just walk around and take it all in while accompanying my husband. read more

NO ONE TREATS ME THAT WAY!! I was at Bass Pro in Tampa, FL with my family on December 26, 2023. We were standing there talking and I turned to leave and all of a sudden I tripped backwards over a wooden corner sticking out from under the display behind my ankles to calves. I tried to stop my fall with my right hand but there was nothing there to grab and landed on my right wrist then my back. Fortunately, the end result was a very bad sprained wrist and a lot of bruising. It could've been way worse. There were 2 employees that immediately came over when they saw me fall and asked if I was ok and one stated I needed to fill out accident report. I was a General Manager for many years so I know this is protocol. So we waited. This is where I became a very dissatisfied and disappointed customer! Two men approached. First one said his name was Joe Lancaster. Then to our surprise and I quote he said "What are you looking to get out of this?" I actually said excuse me and he repeated it again. I let him know I was extremely offended that he would speak to me like that!! How dare he?! No one treat me that way!! Luckily my daughters have ALL of this on video. He was the most rude (I don't know his title it doesn't even say on his business card) disrespectful person especially acting like I'm out to sue the store for money and I was faking the fall. Really?? When he could care less that I was standing there in pain and my hand was very swollen. The 2nd man I had to ask who he was. Honestly, he stood back so far I could barely hear him speak so I don't know who he was at all?? He never gave me a business card. Wonder why?? In other words someone needs to check on this store because if someone does fall and gets severely injured. These two men will be no help!! Their lack of concern was unbelievable. For this company's sake I hope neither one is the GM!! read more

This place is an outdoor lovers paradise. Whether you are into hunting, fishing, camping, shooting, or boating, they have all the necessary gear. From guns and ammo to tents and propane stoves.

Part of it being a section of small power boats. There is also a seafood restaurant on the premises. Outdoor World is a great place for hurricane supplies. The staff is knowledgable and very helpful. There is plenty of parking. read more

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! I ordered a revolver online, to be shipped to the Tampa location. I received notification 3 days later that it had arrived and I could pick it up. I got in line behind two other guys at 1:39 PM. After 45 minutes the line hadn't moved. I jumped out of line and found another employee who took my ID, pulled the revolver from the storage room and had me confirm the serial number. He put the revolver and my ID on the back shelf and asked me to wait in the seating area. They finally called my name after another 1:30 minutes. They then asked me to fill out the ATF form so they run a background check... no clue what they've been doing with my ID for the past 1:30 while the revolver sat on the counter.. I notified them 30 minutes later that it had been approved .... (They give you an ATF website to keep checking)...he said "okay we'll be right with you"... 20 minutes later I lost my mains am said "I've been here now for 3:15 to pick up an online order land I've got to leave in 5 minutes to be able to get my kid for daycare"... he said "5 minutes? Not gonna happen" I placed the order online & paid online... I have a concealed carry which should make the transaction simpler. At the end of the day, I was there 3 hours and 15 minutes and will have to return tomorrow because these clowns can't stop chatting about their personal lives and process what should be a simple transaction read more

This is quite possibly one of the largest Bass Pro locations I've been to so far, and I've visited several! The first thing I noticed was the landscaping, which it's always slightly different at each location, but this one welcomed great vibes. I could stand outside staring at the little river all day! It sort of reminds me of the Savannah, Georgia location. The store is set up like most other locations, but the design is always slightly different on the inside as well. I felt like there was an INSANE amount of fishing tackle at this location- almost to where you'd spend hours looking for what you need if there weren't any available associates to help you out! We spent a total of two hours this visit, and I personally still didn't get to even visit the hunting section or the women's apparel! So if you're like me, and you take a while to look... Be sure you have several hours to spare if you want to shop it all! read more

I've never been to any other Bass Pro Shop so it's kind of hard to pitch it up against any other one but I WILL say that this store is niceeee! Nothing out of stock and neatly placed! I came for 12 gauge shotgun slugs and .223 ammo and I called the he usual gun stores around and was surprised to hear they did not have any in stock. So I decided let's go to BPS! I've always liked it when I came here before. And they got it and much more! Very pleased with this store! read more

My family and I came here on a whim to check out the store and see what it's all about. First, the store is massive and you can find anything under the sun in regards to living or working in the outdoors. If you're a sportsman, this is the place for you. Second, the replicas of animals and the giant fish tank are worth the visit alone. Even if you don't need anything but you want a distraction for the kids for a bit, go here. Third, most stuff that isn't outdoors related (toys, books, general goods) are very overpriced. I was able to find many of the same items on Amazon for much less than what they were being sold for at Bass Pro Shops. Fourth, the stuff that IS outdoors related was priced competitively. Fifth, you will be approached by people that look like they work for Bass Pro Shops to try to sell you a vacation package, but they do not work there. They work for a third party company and have no affiliation with Bass Pro Shops at all. And they are aggressive in their sales. We had a nice visit, but I only give it three stars due to point #5 above. It was offputting and I didn't appreciate it. I felt like I was being followed around the store by these people. Without that experience, this would have been a five star visit. read more

A trip to Florida would not be complete without a visit to Bass Pro Shops in Tampa. No different than the Vaughan BPS store, it has multiple departments and a tank to amuse visitors. It's a great walk to see new sporting and recreation products. Store staff are very helpful and greet you with a smile and a how ya doing? I bought a nice shirt off the many clearance racks and also found a bin of Booyah spinner baits for $2.49 each! These are $8.99 each on sale in Canada so I picked up only 9 this time. Checkout was quick. read more

Fishing Man's haven. My wife jokes about this place. She said this is a men's world. A lot of man here. It is a good place for single women; this is the land of opportunity that they can find the future boyfriend. Be the Fisher of Man! Funny, I kind of agree with her. I have been to the biggest Bass Pro Shop in U.S. at Springfield Missouri with 500,000 square feet. I have seen the best of Pro Shop there. In comparison, this is a small one but it has the best need for outdoor activities. They are selling the larger item such as boat to waders. Any kind of fishing needs, they have the largest selection. They also have hunting, clothing, camping, shoe section. I always get exciting about pro shop is the fresh water fish tank. The fish here is a bit tiny compare to other pro shop. The reason behind is they need to have room to grow. Today is the day after the opening and they already run out the size of the waders I want. I am buying this wader for bridge inspection when I need to walk to shallow water bridge. I have to order online. I see they display better recreation boat in Missouri store and they are cheaper there. The Tahoe recreation boat here does not have nice color design. Not as attractive as other store. (I am not talking about fishing boat). The hunting section is interesting. You can see gun display for hunting. You also can find the chair strap to tree trunk high up for bow and arrows hunting. Overall I like this store. Same as all the Pro Shop, they have a restaurant section for the food. I was told by the server is an hour and 40 minutes wait at 6:30. We did not try it yet. The salt water tank is still under pH balance. No Fish. I will be back to try the restaurant later. read more

HOLY CRAP! This store is HUGE! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'd heard on the radio that they were doing some special things for the 'Holiday Season' (Shouldn't start until after Thanksgiving, but I digress) There was a large area set aside for children to met Santa, with remote controlled vehicles, a talking reindeer as well as other things to keep the little ones occupied. If you need something for hunting, fishing or guns, you will find it here. Including a neat live fish area. However the taxidermy area really made my skin crawl. Its not my thing. I DID like the selection of Hot Sauces and gift items, and will probably visit again just to pick up some christmas hot sauces. read more

I am a city girl through and through and I have no clue about fishing and hunting makes me angry so needless to say, Bass Pro Shops was not my cup of tea. So when I had to get a gift for someone, who shall remain nameless I was way over my head but the amazing staff guided me and helped me pick the perfect gift. They explained each item to me and explained it again when I said I have no idea what you are talking about. The whole store is so huge you can get lost in it. I am pretty sure it took me a hour to get to the cash register because I kept getting distracted. If you have anyone in your life that is a hunting, fishing fan... you need to come and visit Bass Pro! read more

Even though I am no longer an avid outdoorswoman like I used to be, I am still like a kid in a candy store when I visit this store. It's the attention to detail. There is just so much to see here. Starting with the pretty street lamps in the parking lot, to the beautiful manmade creek out front with critter prints in the sidewalk, the gorgeous fireplace in the lobby and the critter prints in the floor and wildlife scenes all over the store. Even the bathrooms are lovely and clean. All the staff are friendly and seem to enjoy working there.I took a friend, who had never been to a Bass Pro Shop and he was absolutely giddy. I have only been to the one in Ft Lauderdale a few times. I was doubly impressed how nice this one is. So many innovative products. A few days prior I had signed up for the Club and ordered items for curbside pickup. It was quick, easy and convenient. The guy who delivered my items was very polite and prompt with my order.I am not one who likes to go shopping, but honestly I do not mind shopping here.
