Well, let me just say that this is the worst place in the business do do business with. I tried to…read morepur have online for 2 days. The website wouldn't take my order. I called on Friday amd he said he couldnt help because he was preparing for a show on the weekend. No problem, get a hold of me on Monday. Monday he reached out and asked for my address and said my order was going to be ready that day. Nothing. Tuesday, I had to request h out to him again. He said he would have the total for me that day amd said his FB was hacked. OK? Then nothing. I waited until Thursday and texted him again, twice. No response. Friday, I texted again. I mean I just wanted to buy a Carbon net from the guy amd now im having to basically beg this guy to sell me one! He finally responds and apologizes and says his site was hacked, again. He told me, in text, that he would give me a discount and sell me the net for $100 + shipping. I agreed bit still never got an invoice or any other communication about getting this bought and shipped. Today, Saturday, a week after this all started. He tells me again that his site was hacked. He can sell me the net through Zelle or Cash App for $135 + shipping. I reminded him of his statement the day prior about the $100 apology offer and he apparently rescinded his offer, amd told me that it was $135 and that was it. This guy is a liar. Dont trust him. He went on and on and on arguing with me about it and would not stop texting me back. This guy is the worst business owner ive ever dealt with in the fishing industry and if you do business with him, BUYER BEWARE! You cant trust anything he tells you. Worst online purchasing experience, ever!

There is no specific canoe kayak ramp location but you can launch with really no problem off one of the main launch ramps.

The prices blow bass pro/Amazon away: trust me, I'm new to this sport so I have been paying attention and spending most every day lately! This couple took over an hour and half last night to set my family up with the PROPER gear! Bass Pro did not and truly set us up for failure. E&j ( the owners ) stayed over an hour past closing time to reload 4 reels with the proper line) and educate my kids on knot techniques, how to load hooks, fish in general and operate the reel! The selection of merchandise and quality of the gear is amazing. You can buy bait from anyone--Why? Support those that enrich our economy and treat all that visit them with respect and trueness. This family gave mine attention, education, and respect. For that, they have earned ours in return. Please visit them, give them one opportunity to win your business. Buy your gear, tackle, pole or next reel. The prices are very competitive but most uplifting feature--they come with unlimited educational sessions and if by chance you mess it up--pop it in the back of you vehicle and go say hello....I bet they can help fix it---try that anywhere else. Gratitude is everything! To bad the fish didn't feel the same way ( ha ha) maybe next time...
