I was thinking of the same thing. Bring a couple of hundred bucks, and just go to all of them in one day. That would be a cool trip. I know LA fish guys did a video of them going to a bunch of different shops.
sounds good iglowce. pm me w/ a list of all the names you can think of. i'll look up addresses and phone numbers and even websites for them. Then everyone can add to the list.
do you guys have google earth? I have saved all Fish stores I could find around me (Irvine), so I only saved the ones in Orange County with the exception of a few others. I updated all of it last week. I hope it a head start at least.
