A few times in the past two decades with a few friends who knew what they were doing. It was going to be 4 hours or so on the river. The weather was beautiful and it was so wonderful to soak in all the greens surrounding us. Quite a few herons, osprey, and some kind of warbler. Very nice distance to drive from Gainesville and everyone in there kayak trip today was from Gainesville and they were all very nice. The drive to kayak destination and back in itself was a nice trip with change of scenery and getting out of town on a weekend to avoid the hussles and bussles of every weekend stuff with groceries and errands. Some people saw some alligators and were trying to point them out hiding but we didn't see any on the same trip! We are told that they don't bother people much in general:) When I expreeesed the concern about not being able to keep up with all other kayakers, my husband said that he would leave me behind and if an alligator has not gotten to me on the way back, he will bring me back home if I fall behind. Yes, he is the perfect picture of support!!!! Lars is very laid back and knowledgeable and easy to talk to and we learned a lot during this trip and would love to come back for more. It was such a fun great nature trip!!!!!

This is THE PRO SHOP for bass & saltwater fishermen alike. Gary Simpson is a seasoned veteran at…read more tournament bass fishing. He qualified for the All-American national championship 4 times! No easy feat considering the number of anglers competing for just a chance to get there. He's always willing to share his vast knowledge of what's biting, where, how to catch them. Travis & Paul are also very knowledgable on what's biting, where and how. Travis is especially keen on new techniques and baits. The tackle selection is tailored for the areas that we locals fish-it is a TRUE PRO SHOP, so those areas pretty much cover both coasts and lakes from the surrounding area. There is no other choice for fishing tackle and gear! The box stores aren't really much (if at all) cheaper and they certainly don't have the experience nor the local knowledge. They likely won't have the bait that's "hot" right now, but you might find a Muskie bait at Wally-World- and that's great if you're going to Minnesota!

I'm on a mission to find the right zero-drop, low-drop, or no-drop shoe, and I've had my eye on the…read moreVivobarefoot Sensus for quite some time. For me personally, this shoe is fascinating because I deal with nerve damage in my feet, and the sensory feedback matters. I'm not saying this is a medical solution for anyone else, but for me, the ability to feel the ground more clearly has been a big part of why I wanted to try them. The Sensus feels like a cross between a moccasin and a real shoe. The full leather upper molds to the foot, the sole is solid but flexible, and the whole point is to let your feet sense the ground underneath you instead of being completely cut off from it. So far, that "ground feel" is exactly what I was hoping for. On flat surfaces, I feel more connected, more aware, and more in tune with how my feet are moving. I can hardly wait to keep testing them and see if this is the shoe that officially brings me into the true zero-drop club. We will see ... Stand By ,,

The staff could not have been more knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. They helped us find exactly what we needed without making us feel pressured to buy things we didn't need. We happened to shop during a sale and Florida's sales tax holiday, and we walked out completely outfitted for our trip for under $500. There's something special about shopping at a locally owned outdoor store that has been in business since 1971. The selection was excellent, but the knowledgeable personal service was what really stood out. We will absolutely shop here again. Highly recommend!

I will definitely order all my future outdoor needs from this business! Well done!

I happened upon this little shop while walking the shopping district in downtown St. Augustine -…read morethe member of the staff working was very inviting and offered to remove anything I may be interested in from the glass cases. This shop is filled with what I can only describe as man-cave oddities including specialty cutlery, metal models and just an array of things you don't see everyday, as well as some provisions e.g. unique coffee blends. It's not a shop that I could spend hours exploring but it definitely captured my interest long enough to look at all their offerings. There is a lot of inventory in a relatively small space. The store is very organized and the staff if very friendly so if you do visit there's no need leaving without having all your questions answered...

I came on here and searched out this shop's yelp page because I wanted to give it and its employees…read moresome recognition... I was at this awesome little shop this last Saturday, 4/22- fantastic inventory for a smaller shop. There are a few shops in the area with knife selection but they're utterly inferior (but fun to check out) compared to this shop. The one thing that showed me that this shop even existed was the awesome sign that says something along the lines of, "manly toys, manly hobbies"- I had to drop in to see if the sign lived up to its claim. As I've said, I was very impressed with the offerings they've got at this shop. Wasn't just that though- both of the employees on shift were absolutely top-notch. One of them was working on a tool or busy with something iirc but when I walked by him he greeted me and told me to please let him know if there's anything he can help me with. A few minutes later I took him up on it and asked if I could take a closer look at a nice camo para 2 I had my eye on. He dropped what he was doing and said, "oh absolutely brother, no trouble at all". Love the attitude. We chatted for a good 5-10 min, the guy is super knowledgeable.. steels/general metallurgy, guns, actions, history, etc.- the guy knew darn near everything. I forgot to ask his name but he's the guy who had a grandpa who worked on design for one of the big firearm manufacturers back in the day. I had just finished eating a big meal so I was a little sleepy- wish I remembered which manufacturer as that would help identify the guy (he and I were looking at one of the bright yellow serrated H2 knives that had a depressed glass-breaker at the butt of the knife's handle- we were both confused as neither of us had ever seen that mechanism in a knife before. It pops out when you squeeze the handle with the blade closed). He was great- best interaction I've had with an employee/salesperson in a good while- he definitely belongs in sales/customer service as he was warm, welcoming, very knowledgeable, conversational, etc. I genuinely enjoyed conversing with him and will definitely be back to this shop primarily because of him (it's hard to find good help nowadays- someone who actually cares about something other than tiktok, especially in the younger generations... I should know as I'm a part of those younger gens) but also because of the solid product selection. Anyway, there was a skinnier gentleman working behind the counter as well- he was great and very helpful. TL;DR : Come visit this shop- I promise you will absolutely not regret it! Great selection (Spyderco, Benchmade, Kershaw, Microtech, CRKT, etc), great staff, and solid location. I'll be back very soon! The only thing I'd like to see different is for them to start carrying Zero Tolerance. They're absolutely fantastic knives, rock-solid and they use great steels.
