Joco and all,
The store is indeed located in the same plaza where Green Drake started way back when.
One light West of Moodie drive, and just across from Hooters.
Same plaza as Price Choppers...

Was in there Friday with a friend and picked up (each of us) a float-tube. Water skeeter Day Tripper Lite... http://www.waterskeeter.com/ and all accessories. My buddy is about 6 ft 4 and 285lbs. He Floats & Fishes with no issues...

And a link/map as it seems to be in question. The zoom is tight on this map, so zoom out to see where it is...

As Hookup mentioned (I'm the buddy!)- I'm 6'5" and 285lbs- tested the Daytripper Lite in a pool (just to be safe) and had absolutely no issues. Very comfortable, very stable and will not have any issues/problems fishing from it. Well, none created by being in a float/pontoon...my casting, that's a whole other story.

Oooops, forgot to add: this store is going to cost me a LOT :) It's close to work, easily accessible over a lunch hour...two visits and 600$ later, and I know I'll be going back- Greg W. also let me cast their TFO Signature 5wt rods- picked one up yesterday and went casting on the grass at lunch. Very nice rod, like how it's loads and feels. Different than my 4wt and 6wt Redington Wayfarer rods, but I'm going to have fun with it. Was thinking of the TiCr which was 40-50$ more, but didn't care for the feel of it.

My .02$ worth, your casting will vary!

Give the TFO Axiom a try if they get any in the store. It's a nice rod if you like a fast action. :-)
