We aren't the only ones happy to see our FITS socks arrive! Although he is looking at them as new toys, while I look at them and think "Comfy Feet". Come down and try a pair for yourself. Your "dogs" will thank you!#GearUpHeadOut #ItstheSocks #FootComfort #FITSSocks

It is getting to be the time of year when we have to wear some protective clothing. The Sidewinder Bibs are my preferred choice for weather protection. Save 20% now, and save your bacon later if/when immersion comes into play! #GearUpHeadOut #FishingFriday #StaySafe #TightLines

With the surge in kayak sales this season we decided to offer more instruction events than usual. Based on attendance/demand, we are glad we did. Thank you to everyone that came out to increase your paddling skills. We hope you had as much fun on the water as we did. Pics below are from our last Intro to Kayak event at the end of August. Classes will start again in January provided we are able to use the pool! #GearUpHeadOut #KayakClass #PaddlingClass
