The one in Fort Worth off of Bryant Irvin is decent. I never have a problem finding what I need there.

The Greenville store will be three blocks from my house, so I will check it out and let you know how the fishing department is.

Wow, I though I was the only one wondering the aisles in confusion. Of the three I have access to here in the Austin area only one seems to have decent management and sadly it is in an area where the trophy wives are definitely their target. The other two are very disorganized. The outdoor gear must not be a profit center for them anymore. If it was it would get more attention.

On the positive side if you are patient and watch you can find some great deals. I managed to pick up an All-star rod yesterday that was originally priced at $69.99 for $15.98. I know it is a Chinese rod and All-star isn't what it was, but it was a rod that fills a gap and too good of a deal to pass up. They had several others marked down 30% or more.

Amen to this. Thats why I go to the Bryant Irvin or Cherry Lane stores. Way better selection. For example the other day I was looking for glass beads that go in the air tail rattlers. Burleson Academy no go. Cherry Lane Academy had 3 different sizes in stock

I used to work there.... The stories about yoga milfs is definately not a myth!

I would suspect the fishing department is going to be rather good at this one, being that the next closest Academy to Fork is in Tyler.

Saweet!

I frequently shop Burleson and Bryant Irvin Stores for fishing and hunting and they are terrible !! I have shopped the Waco store a couple of times and it is usually stocked some better but poorly organized for the amount of traffic in the store. If I have to have something that I cant wait for internet shopping I go to Cabelas. They always .. ALWAYS .. have GOOD selection BUT can be expensive. So SAD because Academy used to be great place to get fishing and hunting supplies !!

East Texas Sonar has some good stuff and Solid Pawn and Outdoors.

The store will carry a full assortment of fishing and hunting and will be pretty much identical to Tyler, just a little smaller in overall size.

Went to Acadamy in Longview the other day and I don't want to bad mouth but there bait selection sucked!!!!

Since 2011 when the investment company KKR bought out Academy everything has changed for the worse! Enough said about a New York company. Greed is good!

after yesterday i am hoping they close the one in Burleson and open something useful there, cause it is a waste of space

I like Academy. The one on North Tarrant is excellent. Really like the Tyler and Longview stores too. Both are awesome.

Don't discount the Academy internet site. They don't have the selection of Tackle Warehouse, but they do have a lot of the basic stuff. $25 minimum order and they do get stuff out quickly on regular ground shipping.
