Does anyone know if the BPS in Harlingen is up and running? If you all have any information I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

I've seen it here from one of the members who will be working here about mid-November as I recall.

Sounds good to me, next trip down will be flying in on 12/18 so it should be fully stocked. Will work for plastic bait  |

We have 2 BPS in the Houston market. I don't shop at either one. Academy has an equal saltwater selection and better prices. If I were a clothes shopper then BPS would have my buisness. Seems like they are mor into selling clothes.

Gone twice to the BPS and only bought a reel cover, knife, and a cup.  Not much in the way of saltwater gear. My question is why so many Freshwater boats? I lived all my life here in the Rio Grande Valley and there are no Freshwater lake that I know of that have boat access. The only local lake would be Falcon which is a good ways away from where I live. I agree Academy has a better selection of Saltwater gear. I guess it would not be called BPS if it only sold Saltwater Gear.  |

I went on Black Friday and picked up a Caldwell Lead Sled for $49.99. I was disappointed in the selection of merchandise in the store.
