The time has come

Too much competition here in the North valley, although I agree with Fishtohper it'd be a bigger market. With Sportsman's, Fishermans, BC angling post, Tackle Nazi, Jacks snack & tackle, Bi mart, Wall mart, & the smattering of smaller stores around the area, there is a lot of competition already entrenched.

I cast my vote out of selfishness as Salem would be a drive I know I'd make more often than Albany, and I think once your reputation expands other north enders would feel the same.

*** While this is only a rumor, its had been floating around for a while now; that Bill Williamson has considered retirement, perhaps if that times come you might consider negotiating for his product line and customer base. Parking is an issue for the angling post location, but with the looming commercial property "collapse" you might be able to pick up a prime site up north here.***

I like most of the people in this area are severely limited, we have a bi-mart and Wally world (yuck). This leaves no one to take our money....have a little heart and put your store here...the base is here and so should you be:dance:
You could even sell real fuel for boats...you know the real gasoline. I know I would be sending an allotment to you straight from my paycheck, you could just credit my account. Fresh bait...be still my heart. Down here fresh bait is sold by Berkley and it comes in a small jar The fly shops don't carry much for us low life anglers...and if you do dare venture into one ...well lets just say I don't any longer.

Well, I still have 4 years till I get my license.
Do you think they require licenses for gokarts? Just kidding...

You should get your parents to get you a bus pass. I used to take it all the way out to Estacada in Middle School, and fish Timber Park for Chinook when there wasn't anything important happening in class. There is a lot of water that the P-Trans passes by, and much of it is fishy, fishy.

When I worked downtown I did the TriMet park and ride thing. There was always a guy who would get on down by the waterfront and ride back to LO with fishing pole and tackle box in hand. He said he fished for carp.

TriMet is fisherman friendly.

Thats strange... People wont ask you why you are carrying a 7 foot long pole and a box?

Oh, and what are people going to say when you have a giant fish in your hands? :lol:

They are going to eat your brain, trying to gain all the knowledge that leads to catching big fish! When they ask you when you get on if you are going fishing tell em "Nope! :naughty: Thought I would go play a couple of rounds of golf!:think: Here's your sign!":clap:
