Recommended Posts

There is a unadvertised in store sale at Gander Mountain till Jan 8th. It is a after christmas inventory reduction. Lots of hunting stuff is 10-30% off. All fishing is 10% off and ice fishing is 5% off. Some clothes items are 50% off. This includes electronics so a fl-18 is $379.00.

MUDMAN,

How did you do that? Their policy is to double the difference up to $50.00.

Nice deal.

Gander will double the difference in a competitors price (up to $50). So in the case above, the difference in price was well over $50 ($349 @ gander vs. $299 @ cabelas). So what they do is match the low price and pay you double the difference. In this case, matched cabelas at $299, then since the difference was greater than $50 they doubled the difference of $50 to a total additional discount to $100 off, bringing the final sale to $199.

Man you got a steal! Too bad gander doesn't recognize galyans prices right now! I talked to a sales rep at Gander over the weekend and they said they don't match clearance or closeout priced items (ie Galyans). Too bad, because Galyans had a chronograph baitcaster on clearance for $100 (plus additional 20% off) and Gander was on sale for $150. Could've picked up the reel for basically free! Oh well. The reel was left handed anyway... frown.gif

I am confused on the dicount given above. Here is Ganders policy:

Our promise to you is low prices on every item we sell every day. If you should find a lower price on an identical in-stock item at a local competitor, let us know about it and we will match that price and give you that difference again up to $50. IT'S OUR GANDER GUARANTEE! *Discount Double limited to actual difference in price plus up to $50 over and above price match.

Now with a fish house that is $350, they would match the $299, and then since the difference between Gander and the competitor was $50, they would give you another $50. So basically they match teh price and give you the difference.....so how did it come to a $199 total?

Should it not have been $250?

The deal I got was someone had the Otter houses on sale for 10% off. Gander said they would match that and give me the difference.....So the house was $450....they matched the 10% which brought it to $405, and then gave another 10% which brought it to roughly $365. The guy just actually gave me a strait 20% though..so I got a few more $ off..

Maybe it's that sunflower heater getting to my head...but maybe you got a REALLy good deal???

Hey mudman,

I have been checking the cablea's website and they don't have the fish trap guide listed...so how did you know/prove that they had it for $299? This sounds like an awesome deal and i would really like to pick one up for that price too...

Nope, Gander Mountain does have a double the difference policy. When I was working at the Duluth, Gander MT. We made darn sure that the product in the store matched the ad prices for the week from the competitors in the area. Otherwise had we not, double the difference on an item up to $50. Of course that only worked for the customer and not the workers...bummer wink.gif

So the deal that the Gander gave you for giving you 10% and then bringing down another 10% wasn't a true interpretation of their policy. What they should have done is matched the price of the competitor's cost on the product and then given you double the difference. They give you a double up to $50, so the most a guy could get off would be $100.

Ex. If say....Cabela's had a reel for $30 and Gander had the same reel for $40. They would bring the price to $30 and double the difference. In this case you would pay $10 ($10 x 2)= $20 and then $30-$20= $10 your cost! Pretty sweet deal huh?

Gander had line for $1.99 and Fleet was selling it for $1.49. Gander called over to Fleet to check the price and they brought the price down to $1.49 and doubled the difference (.50 x 2= $1.00). So I got a packs of mono for .49/.50 cents!

Not a great steal like the fish house, but it all adds up---I just bought more lures.

I'm pretty sure I gave you good examples....maybe I need to get away from that sunflower heater too ooo.gif Or maybe I need to get closer grin.gif

Well unfortunately it seems like you got the only great deal there mudman...I tried going to the Forest Lake Gander today and doing your deal...It didn't work because they said it doesn't count on items that are on sale, and the 299.99 price from Cabela's is a sale...so they would give it to me for that, but no less...

Well, on the reciept I have it says "Find a lower price on a identicle instock item at a local competitor, we'll match it and take that difference off again, up to $50." I am still thinking I should have gotten more off if it was the double the difference deal. It's still within 90 days so I should be able to talk to them I am assuming... who knows..

Also...the Otter I bought was one sale...and they price matched it plus the additional. I told them it was on sale for 10% off and I got it.... That was the Fridely store.

Well 5 Gander Mountains later I finally found one that was willing to give me the deal, the bloomington store gave me their price down to Cabelas (332-299) plus then took 33 dollars off of the 299 and then an additional 5% because of their sale, after tax I got a new guide for $270...not quite the deal mudman got, but I am content with it...

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
