Hearing through the grapevine that, after 15 years, the Bass Pro Shops at Riverton in Sayreville is FINALLY opening the week of October 11 ! I would certainly call or get something official from Bass Pro first before you hop in the car,but it appears North/Central New Jersey will not have to wait any longer. At 200,000 square feet, it will be their largest one level store in America.

Are there enough rednecks in central NJ to support such a large store?

I can't wait... this store is also geared towards saltwater fishing more than most Bass Pros that are more fresh water. Going to be awesome

You'd be surprised how big fishing is amongst the teenage boys throughout north Jersey

Ive watched that thing being built and thought it was an odd location for a store til it hit me - it's a genius location. Every fisherman coming down the parkway is going to hit that store on the way down every summer

My son is super excited, closest store is AC

Plus the Shipwreck Aquarium will be an attraction.

On behalf of my people, I find that an outdated and offensive term. You should really use hick or hillbilly. I personally identify with the progressive “ country bumpkin.”
Heaven:
unless you went to or lived there Hillbilly is for those connected to West Virginia.
Stick with "Country Bumpkin" :)

I was a brand loyal Cabelas guy forever. When they merged it seemed like the quality (at least the ones by me) went down a bit. Then we got a Scheels. Man. THAT place is awesome. I think Bass Pro is still probably the go to place for fishing, but for hunting or anything else, Scheels is amazing.

Remember "back in the day" ordering BB guns and wristrocket/slingshots from Cabela mail order when times were "safer" and "saner." No more of that fun!

Sears as well.
My dad used to shoot crabapples with his wrist rocket from the porch to chase the geese out of our yard. I remember once I shot a fairly large ball bearing at them once. Tragically I pinged one on the right spot and he went down like a sack of potatoes. I felt so bad, had to hide the body before pops found out
