L.L.Bean Preseason Paddling Expo (Mid-Atlantic)
You don't have to live next to our store to find great preseason deals on kayak and canoe gear and accessories with this unique off-site sales event at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis. This is a great opportunity to touch and try on top outdoor products before you purchase. There'll even be fun clinics and demonstrations with the L.L.Bean Outdoor Discovery Schools.

If you are in Annapolis and shopping for a kayak you should also check out

Springriver

http://www.springriver.com/boats/boats.htm

They carry Wilderness Systems kayaks which is a favorite brand for kayak fishing.

Also on the same street as Springriver is Backyard Boats

http://www.backyardboats.com/Sales/ky.asp

Backyard Boats carry the Hobie kayaks.

These places are on Spa Creek and Springriver allows you to rent yaks and rental fees go towards a yak purchase. Springriver usually has a big demo days the first weekend of May at Sandy Point State Park.

I don't think LLBean carries many sit-on-top kayaks which is the preferred kayak for yak fishing. But if LLBean is having a sale it still may worth checking out for good deals on kayak gear and accessories.

I'm heading to Backyard Boats tomorrow to order my new Hobie Adventure [smile].

Don't forget East of Maui
http://www.eastofmauiboardshop.com/

They carry Ocean Kayak and Heritage yaks. Check the OK Prowler or the Heritage Redfish.
