Ok San Antonio, yes we do carry Duck Dynasty products. You asked and we listened. We have it all... t-shirts, cups, books, audio books, season 1 on DVD, decals, and stickers! Did I mention that we carry women’s tees also? Here is the catch; you need to come in right now because all of our Duck Dynasty merchandise flies right out the door the moment we put it out. Want a blue cup just like Uncle Si? Well we have it here the Duck Commander 16 oz Si’s Tea Cup-“Hey Jack” Only $7.99. What will you put in it? We have this famous cup in blue, green, and pink.

Plus, we just received the Duck Commander Universal Bucket Seat Covers in black/pink and black/yellow.  Protect your seats and be in style with your Duck Commander Universal Bucket Seat covers this duck season. I mentioned the books earlier but I saw this morning we have the new book Happy, Happy, Happy by Phil Robertson. What an interesting life he has had. I couldn’t put it down. So come on in and grab your copy because they are selling fast.

Duck Dynasty is displayed upstairs on the second floor across from footwear. You can’t miss it; there are life size cut outs of Uncle Si, Phil, Jase, Willie, and Jep just waiting to greet you. Stop by and pick up your Duck Dynasty merchandise today and take your picture with the whole gang while you are here. 

Compared to our limited selection before, we have received a wide variety of She Safari clothing in store. We now have a selection from casual wear, safari, upland, and the popular camouflage. “She” has a great selection of clothing that is comfortable and designed specifically for women. Alongside our popular camouflage selection, I want to tell you about the new features from the “She Safari” collection. We carry a few styles of shirts and pants that are in a solid color assortment of khaki, light olive green, and dark olive green. These solid colors are perfect for those hunting in exotic areas where camouflage is illegal. I’ve been told that these specific colors are hard to find available in styles for women. She Safari clothing is tailored and trimmed to be more form fitting and flattering to our female customers. Subtle features such as scrunching, cap sleeves, and buttons add a more stylish appeal without being over dramatic. I like that these shirts are versatile and can be pulled off as casual wear when you’re not out in the wild. The shirts are breathable in hot weather making them stylish and practical. Always a plus! Don’t settle for buying men’s clothes and check out our new items in our “She Safari” collection!

Father's Day is coming up soon and I just happen to have 2 men's tops that I think you will like. Whether your man is the casual type or the dressier type, we can take care of him with these 2 greats shirts.

The first is the Red Head Sportsman polo which is 100% polyester and is machine washable. It sells for $24.99 with an upcharge on the 3XL at $27.99. The colors are great and as listed: Sportsman Blue, Vintage Khaki, Willow Green, Surf, Orangeade, Lemon, and Red Chili.  This has the the quick-dry wicking technology which moves the perspiration away from the body and through the fabric so it can evaporate quickly. This helps keep the skin temperature at a comfortable level which is definitely needed living in San Antonio. This polo has an almost cotton touch to it and is imbued with an anti-wrinkle feature as well.

The next shirt I want to tell you about is the Sportsman Twill shirt which has short sleeves and a button down collar.  It sells for $24.99 with an upcharge for the 3XL-5XL at $27.99. It comes in 8 colors as well; Cornmeal, Grass, Stone, Olive, White, Red. Navy, and Basketball Orange. The exciting features on this shirt that you will appreciate are that it is 100% cotton and a Nanotex Fabric.  This means that it needs little or no ironing but the best part is the Nanotex fabric also resists spills. It has a technology spill resistance right in the fabric. The liquids will just bead up and off instead of soaking into the fabric.   

You will be looking great in these Men's shirts and staying comfortable all summer long. We have come a long way in the technology in fabrics and their wear and durability. Both the Sportsman Polo and the Sportsman Twill Shirt will make a great Father's Day gift! 

Gas prices continue to rise, but did you know that Texas resident boaters are eligible for a fuel tax rebate? The State of Texas has money for you, but you have to claim it. How??? If you collect and tally your gas receipts during the year and file a form once a year, the State of Texas will mail you a check for $.20 per gallon for the gas you used in your boat. Texas is one of nine states that offer a resident rebate for off-road fuel taxes. Every gallon of gasoline purchased from a retail gas station has a State Highway tax included in the price per gallon and since your boat doesn’t use gas on the highways, you are entitled to this refund. This can be used for boating or other “Off-road” purposes. The State Comptroller requires an annual form to filed and receipts to be verified every three years. Sending in your receipts for the first year is a certainty. If your first year claim does not have any miscalculations or disallowed receipts, the Comptroller’s office may not require you to send hard copies in your next two years.

It is a two-step process: 1) Collect your receipts, they must include the date of purchase, number of gallons purchased, price per gallon and the type of fuel purchased. Your receipt must also show the name and address of the seller. So be sure to check the receipt before leaving the gas station. You may have to ask cashier to stamp back of receipt. Keep your receipts in a box or envelope and put the date of your first receipt on the box or envelope. Keep out off heat, they have a tendency to fade. 2) File you claim, Form #06-106. Your claim form must be postmarked before the first anniversary date of the first claim amount you are requesting. There is no affiliated date when you can start collecting gas receipts. You can start collecting gas receipts when you pump the next gallon of gas in your boat. If you begin saving receipts on May 15^th, your claim form would need to be postmarked by May 14^th of the following year.

It's April, which means Spring is here and when we think of Spring, we think COLOR!

There are some really great brights out there this season but watch for the COLOR ORANGE! We just received a great new collection from Bob Timberlake and yes it is all about ORANGE.

It is similar to Orange Sherbert ice cream or remember eating a "Dreamscicle"?  We have 2 stand out shirts in this group: the first is a short sleeve woven cotton plaid of ORANGE and green for $42.00.  The second is another short sleeve in a seersucker mini check in ORANGE and blue for the same price.  There is a great fashion ripstop vest with a 4 pocket front for $68.00 and it is a khaki color.

http://www.basspro.com/Brand-Bob-Timberlake/Clothing-Men-s-Clothing-Shirts-Tops/Color-Orange/_/N-1z0xbi6Z1z0ustrZ1z0xd22

There are 4 polos in this group, a short sleeve oxford pique in blue and beige and the other 2 are a navy and an ORANGE with a stripe across the chest.  You can put these together with the great flat front blue glen plaid short or the beige flat fron stripe short.  They retail for $45.00 each.

I pulled in a short sleeve chambray shirt that is sooo soft and can be worn with this entire group.  The colors are ORANGE, blue, beige, and a light green.  My favorite short in this group is a solid ORANGE cargo short for $45.00.  The fabric is excellent as well as the cut of the short, so it looks good and feel good.  You have to see this collection for yourself and all the excellent detailing in each piece.

    It's February and you know what that means!  It's time to go fishing!!  Bass Pro Men's Apparel has just what you need to wear when you are taking out your boat.  First let's talk about the Flats Guide Fishing Shirt which comes in short and long sleeves.  The short sleeve retails for $59.99 and the long sleeve for $69.99.  We carry 6 colors which are: Mosaic (turqoise), Pale Yellow, Minnow (lime green), Cirrus Blue, and Desert Sand.  They are 100% Polyester which makes them an easy wash and a quick dry.  It is a loose fit so when wearing one of these shirts it is a light feeling shirt that keeps you cool and dry.

There are 5 reasons that make this one of the top fishing shirts that you should be wearing.

1.)  Moisture Transportation

      This means the material is engineered to wick sweat and dry fast.

2.)  Strategic Ventilation

       Mesh and the ultra-light polyester fabric is placed exactly where you need it.

3.)  Microbial

      This is technology that stops those stinky odor-causing microbes in their tracks.

4.)  UV Protection

       The Flats Guide fishing shirt has a UPF 30+ to block out the sun's harmful rays.

 5.)  Stain Resistant

        Ewww....blood, dirt, and sweat may get on, but they never soak in!

    Of course you will need our Guide Zip-Off Trail Pant III to go with your cool fishing shirt and we have these for $74.99.  These have all of the technology that I explained in the above paragraph as well.  We have these in 32"-42" waist and the colors are Light Khaki, Medium Khaki, and Dark Khaki.  And to top it all off..we have a new Ripstop Fish Hook cap for $19.99.  The colors are Desert Sand and Acadia Blue.

If you are looking for an easy way to clean your game and don't want the hassle of cleaning it inside the house, here at Bass Pro Shops we got the perfect solution.

IT ONLY COSTS $79.97, when most competitors tables run around $119.99!

A behemoth of a deep diving crank designed for targeting the biggest bass, the Strike King 10XD Crankbait measures in at 6-inches in length and easily hits the 25-foot mark on 14-lb fluorocarbon. It gets you in front of fish that you previously couldn’t reach with a crankbait, and also casts and pulls surprisingly easy for its size. Available in a range of colors, the Strike King 10XD is what you need when money is on the line - and you need that kicker fish.

It is early February as boating and fishing season is approaching equipment needs to be replaced or you are looking for a better solution for what didn’t work last season.

One of the most common issues I continue to receive was an issue with anchoring in shallow waters without getting into a Minn Kota Talon or a PowerPole.  Here at Bass Pro Shops in San Antonio (currently the only Bass Pro Shops in Texas that carries it) we received a couple months back a perfect solution and it is called the Stick It Anchor Pin.  What is the Stick It?  The Stick It is a 3/4" solid reinforced polyester resin anchor pin with a T handle; it has no metal parts so it makes it maintenance free no matter if you fish fresh or saltwater.  We are currently carrying the 5.5ft in black designs just for kayaks and an 8ft white that’s recommended for kayaks and flats boats up to 24' or up to 22' bay boats anchoring in up to 7' of water. 

The Stick It is nearly unbreakable and very flexible as demonstrated in the photo below from the Stick It Anchor Pins website and if something were to happen to it outside of it being lost or stolen the Stick It does have a full 5 year warranty.

So, the next time you are fishing in shallow waters and come to realize that a traditional anchor is to troublesome, get your self a Stick It Anchor Pin.

We currently are carrying 8 different colors in the Mullet pattern. These baits have been talked about all year. Designed after the Original Wedgetail, the new Kick-A Mullet suspends, rattles, and kicks as it swims. Its slow sinking action drives big Trout and Redfish crazy. It also makes a world class wake bait when worked right under the surface of the water. A twitch, twitch-stop is one of the best all around techniques for this bait. The fall rate varies depending on salinity, but changing hooks can either slow or speed up this up. As the fall season begins and the big Trout and Redfish go on the hunt these baits should be in every Fishermen’s arsenal.

Come see us at the San Antonio Fishing dept to see these new baits in person.

It is almost time for San Antonio to start getting cooler days and nights and hopefully lots of rain as well.  If you are the type of person who likes to be out in the colder weather, in snow or rain, we have some brand new items to keep you dry and comfortable.

This fall we have a new Red Head jacket that we are excited to tell you about.  It is the Cordura Lifetime jacket and retails for $99.99 and for size 3XL and Talls for $104.99.  It is a heavy weight 10.5 oz 70% cotton 30% nylon Cordura Duck fabric.  It features Axe Comfort Zone insulation and microfleece lining in the body and hood.  It repels cold wind and harsh elements and has a specially designed lightweight thermal core insulation that conserves your body heat.  This is a great outdoor work jacket with articulated elbows and bi-swing back.  It has multiple interior pockets and a drop tail for greater coverage.  It has triple stitching and the colors are Black and Brown.  This is an excellent jacket if you work outside and need a jacket that will not only keep you warm but gives you the freedom of movement to do your job.

I told you about the new Red Head Cordura Lifetime Jacket and now I want to tell you about the new Red Head Cordura Lifetime work pant.  "Designed for living, built to last".  That sums the pant up right there.  It comes in the same colors of Black and Brown as the jacket and is made from the Cordura Duck fabric as well with a retail price of $49.99.  The Cordura fabric is durable, versatile, and reliable.  It is a great outdoor tough pant that will hold up under the toughest jobs.  It has a stylish durability and light weight strength.  The Cordura pant is resistant to tears, scuffs, and abrasions.  This is really a great pant and can be teamed up with the Cordura Lifetime jacket for working outdoors.  

It’s almost that time of year again!

Unfortunately, the boating season is winding down and even in Texas it is time to start thinking about protecting your valuable recreational asset during the winter months. The time and effort you spend now will have a definite effect on your boat's performance, or lack of it.  It will certainly save you time, effort and money come spring. You should remember that your insurance policy may not cover damage done by lack of maintenance or neglect. The best place for your boat to be during the winter is out of the water, under cover, in a climate-controlled boat storage area. Make sure that your boat is well covered with a tarp or some other sturdy cover.

Your first step in winterizing should be to make a checklist of all items that need to be accomplished. Check the owner's manual of your boat and motor for manufacturer's recommendations on winterization. The following is a generic outline of areas which should be of concern to you:

Inboard Engine - You should run the engine to warm it up and change the oil while it is warm. You should also change the oil filter, flush the engine with fresh water and circulate antifreeze through the manifold. Remove spark plugs and use "fogging oil" to spray into each cylinder.

Outboard Engine - Flush engine with fresh water using flush muffs. Let all water drain from the engine. Disconnect fuel hose and run engine until it stops.

Stern Drive(s) - You should thoroughly inspect the stern drive. Drain the gear case and check for excessive moisture in the oil. This could indicate leaking seals and should be repaired. Clean the lower unit with soap and water. If your stern drive has a rubber boot, check it for cracks or pinholes. Grease all fittings and check fluid levels in hydraulic steering or lift pumps. Check with your owner's manual for additional recommendations by the manufacturer.

Fuel - Fill your fuel tank to avoid a build up of condensation over the winter months. Add a fuel stabilizer by following the instructions on the product. Change the fuel filter and water separator.

Bilges - Make sure the bilges are clean and dry.

By following the above suggestions, you should be in good shape for the winter. Do not, however, neglect to consult your owner's manuals for manufacture's recommendations on winterizing your boat and other systems.

All your product needs, (such as oils, lubes, fuel stabilizers or cleaning agents) can be found at here at Bass Pro Shops Marine accessories counter or the Tracker Parts & Service center. If you prefer the Tracker Service center can even do the work for you! They can be contacted at 210-253-8772.
