    Gone Fishin' or Cabela's in Nanaimo?

    I need some gear and I'd rather patronize a local place than a chain.

    Is Gone Fishin' a worthwhile place to shop over Cabela's?

    Great. They are very close to where I'm staying in Nanaimo too.

    Depends if they have what you need. Supporting small business is never a bad thing.

    I found common ground with Iron! Gone Fishin is a solid local option. If you are worried about price if any big ticket items, ask if they have any room move. They did for me, and another customer I overheard the other day too.

    yep, good store. I purchased my duck hunting canoe from Gone Fishin. When it came in, it had a small scratch on the exterior. It wasn't an issue to me and before I could even tell them it wasn't an issue (I'd be hauling it over gravel/logs etc and hunting in the salt marsh) the store manager reduced the price to just over cost. Or, he said he would order me another if I wanted.

    He also offered me a discounted price on a life jacket and paddle.

    Another option is to look around some of the stores in Campbell river, like river sportsman. The up Island stores will probably be dialed in on whats catching fish in the local lakes up there this time of year.
