Maybe it's your kid's first time holding a rod. Maybe deer season's coming and you can feel it. Maybe it's a camping weekend, or just a good excuse to be on the water. Wherever you're headed, the Bass Pro Shops app helps you get ready for it. Shop from wherever you are, see what's in stock at a store near you, and pick how you want it, delivery, pickup, or curbside at participating stores. Earn rewards on the gear you buy, catch offers made just for members, and stay a step ahead of whatever season's coming next. FISHING 
Start with a rod and reel that feel right in your hands, maybe a Johnny Morris or an Offshore Angler for the salt. Stock up on the tackle you go through most, a fresh spool of line, a new box of soft baits. Found a bait the fish couldn't leave alone last time? Reorder it in a couple taps. Want to find them a little faster? Add a fish finder from Humminbird, Garmin, or Lowrance. From your first bluegill off the dock to tournament morning, we've got you covered on bass, crappie, trout, walleye, and just about anything else with fins. HUNTING, ARCHERY & OPTICS 
Good hunts start with the boring stuff, weeks before you ever head out. Line up your RedHead camo, your boots, a pair of waders that'll keep you dry. Put a couple pairs of binoculars or rangefinders side by side, and see what other hunters had to say before you decide. When it's time, browse bows and crossbows from names you already trust, RedHead, Vortex, TenPoint. Still not sure it's right for your setup? The specs and Q&A are right there on the page. CAMPING & THE OUTDOORS
 The trip really starts the night you pack. Grab a tent and a sleeping bag that fit the whole crew, then round it out with a YETI cooler and a couple chairs for the fire. Come suppertime, a good grill or camp stove earns its keep. First family campout or deep in the backcountry, you'll find footwear, rain gear, and layers for everybody, the kids included. BOATING & WATERSPORTS 
Some of the best days start at the ramp. Keep the rig running with a Minn Kota or MotorGuide trolling motor, a fresh battery, or the marine electronics you've been eyeing from Garmin and Lowrance. Bringing the family? Grab life jackets, an Ascend kayak, or a paddleboard before the weekend gets away from you. APPAREL & FOOTWEAR 
The right layers make a long day a whole lot better. Pull on a Carhartt jacket that can take a beating, a Columbia shell when the weather turns, or an Under Armour base layer for the cold mornings. Find RedHead and The North Face for the trail, boots that hold up mile after mile, and clothing for the whole family, men, women, and kids. Dressing for the blind, the boat, or the backyard, there's something built for it. FIND WHAT YOU NEED, FAST 
Not sure what something's called? Scan a barcode in the store to pull it right up on your phone. Hands dirty? Use voice search. Filter for what's in stock, sort by ratings, and read real reviews with real photos before you spend a dime. Keep an eye out for Outfitter Picks, gear our folks stand behind, so you know it'll hold up to however hard you fish, hunt, or camp. MAKE IT GO FURTHER 
There's always something going on around here, Father's Day deals, the Spring Fishing Classic, the Fall Hunting Classic. Sign up for a CLUB card right in the app and you could start with up to $60 in points, then watch them stack up as you shop. Veterans and service members can verify through Legendary Salute for 10% off, every day. And at checkout, round up for conservation and drop in any promo codes before you pay. THE HARD-TO-SHOP-FOR STUFF 
Here's the funny thing about getting good at something. Nobody knows what to get you anymore, so they hand you a gift card and call it even. Check your balance right in the app, then finally put it toward that reel, that optic, that thing you've been circling for months. SCAN THE CATALOG Scan the catalog to pull up details and reviews, then tuck it into your wishlist where it'll be waiting for the right moment.
