| I just spoke with the Store Manager in De Pere and he confirmed that they are going to close the locations as mentioned above. They are in the process of setting up the DePere Store liqudation of inventory and plans will be announced for the sale in the next few days. The decision was a corporate move based on dwindling credit due to the banking crunch. I will miss the store for it's great customer service, inventory and selection. Purple Skeeter |

Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | I've read two reports from fishing insider news reports that predict that 40% of the marine industry will be gone by the end of the year. Some have indicated that it has already started and will get worst now that GE has notified dealerships that their rates have just gone up on floor plans. Batten down the hatches boys!
