Title: Re: Local Tackle & Bait Shops - forget breakwater / coastguard pier deli
Post by: JohnGuineaPig on June 14, 2006, 02:08:36 PM
i would buy tackle from any shop other than the pseudo bait shot / deli / bbq place at the monterey breakwater launch ramp / coastguard pier. those folks are the rudest business owners in the world. their selection is always a bunch of empty boxes.

three times i have gone into that place and i swear i will not go in there for anything anymore.

first time i wanted to buy squid and put the box on the counter and the woman gave me a dirty look and threw a bag at me. she does not like the squid they sell on their counter. if its that dirty maybe they should not sell it.

second time i got change from paying for parking at the breakwater in dollar coins, the gold ones and wanted to buy some bait in that deli shop again and the woman said they preferred not to get those dollar coins for purchases as if it were not legal tender?

third time two weeks ago when going out on a boat there at the launch i purchased anchovies for bait from them and asked if they could break a 20.00 so my wife's uncle can park the truck and trailer and the guy looked at me and said these exact words "Come on, its Sunday, banks are closed and we don't have enough." he would not even bother to look to see if he had anything. i ended up going to MB Dive Center. Those folks are a lot nicer.

What a shame since that little rinky dink business needs people to keep buying form them but if they are gonna be rude the way they are then i can't support em no matter what. i blame it on myself though. i need to be prepared with change and bait before arriving there. i can dive and fish in a lot of places. they can only do business there on that lot.

i am not alone, see here:

I was passing through Vacaville about a month or so ago and saw this place right off Highway 80.  I only had about 10 minutes to check it out, but the selection was huge, They even have a shooting range in there.  I only able to do a quick recon mission, in and out.  It was big, lots off equipment, and nice people.  Anyone else been there?

What is the name of the color you got?? I checked out the site. Since I am color blind too many of them look the same to me. Halloween, Atomic Punk, Green Machine, Wrathchild, Kelp Critter; they all look pretty much the same to me.
Title: Re: Local Tackle & Bait Shops
Post by: jmairey on November 14, 2006, 10:47:51 PM

tote, I don't recall the color name.  Maybe something like red olive herring?

I would have stuck with the anchovy colored ones except KZ said he did well with
the green color, so I tried 'em and they work, but I would not hesitate to toss an anchovy
pattern either dark, in black and purple, or light in white and black/blue.

I just looked and they don't offer the 7" anymore, only 6",  :smt013.

the tuna slider pack of 40 for $16.99 looks like a good deal tho. any of those chovy
colors seem to work great.

they shipped me 50 5" dark anchovy and 50 5" light anchovy 2nds by mistake
one time and told me to keep them since they were the ones that split easily
(bad soft plastic).  so it'll be awhile before I need more swimbaits...

fishtrapp lures still offers a 7" and those are great, just a little more pricey.

There is a new tackleshop in Santa Cruz.  It is called (I think) Anglers Arsenal and is on 41'st Ave. down towards pleasure point.

I don't know if it has anything to do with the Angler's Arsenal down in SoCal, but I went in to check it out.

Sort of a mix of everything.  I would have liked to have seen a larger supply of bass plastics, but oh well.  It was a bit pricey, but to have a dedicated tackleshop so close is good.  They can't mark up shimano stuff do to how shimano deals with its dealers so I can get my claurus rod for Xmas there for the cheapest anywhere.

I think they were asking 120 for an ABU 6500C# which is very high, but the other reels looked fairly reasonable.  They had a big stock of reels.

Most importantly, they had gulp sand crabs (at 7.50 a pouch ouch!).  I am gonna get me some of those for the perching.

Not a great selection of tackle although they generally have what you might be missing on the way to the water.
What they do have is a lot of types of bait; live included.
And they are just before the Antioch bridge.

(This is Part one of a two-part post.

I compiled a list of the bait and tackle shops listed here and gathered from other sources, along with a list of places that I've visited at one time or another. Yes...even WalMart is listed...some of the stores sell worms and sometimes the Bill Dance lures work. There are also listings for flyfishermen.

Please note that, while many of these places do indeed offer bait and tackle for sale, some may offer only bait and some may offer only tackle.

I did not list chain stores like Longs Drugs because I don’t recall ever seeing fishing-related stuff in any of the stores. If I’m wrong, let me know and I’ll add to the list. Nothing done is ever perfect in life…if you find any of these places no longer exist, please let me know. For instance, Tri-City Sporting Goods in Fremont went out of business 2 or 3 years ago, to be quickly replaced by new housing…and yet, they’re still listed by various manufacturers on the Internet.

Title: Re: Local Tackle & Bait Shops
Post by: Hojoman on June 15, 2007, 02:29:57 PM
(This is Part two of a two-part post.

I compiled a list of the bait and tackle shops listed here and gathered from other sources, along with a list of places that I've visited at one time or another. Yes...even WalMart is listed...some of the stores sell worms and sometimes the Bill Dance lures work. There are also listings for flyfishermen.

Please note that, while many of these places do indeed offer bait and tackle for sale, some may offer only bait and some may offer only tackle.

I did not list chain stores like Longs Drugs because I don’t recall ever seeing fishing-related stuff in any of the stores. If I’m wrong, let me know and I’ll add to the list. Nothing done is ever perfect in life…if you find any of these places no longer exist, please let me know. For instance, Tri-City Sporting Goods in Fremont went out of business 2 or 3 years ago, to be quickly replaced by new housing…and yet, they’re still listed by various manufacturers on the Internet.

Post by: Malibu_Two on August 23, 2007, 07:50:47 AM
415-752-6197 corner of 38th and Balboa. If you're going to stock up in SF, get your weights, lead heads and swim baits here. It's close to Hi's.
It's discount for sure.

Yep, they're the best...Stef is super friendly. I hate Hi's Tackle Box. It takes forever to get noticed, and they're not friendly. Last time, when I bought my ab card, I forgot to put my driver's license # on it and the guy gave me a good little dose of attitude and told me I need to learn to take direction.

The only problem with Gus' is that they don't sell fishing licenses. Otherwise, I would never go to Hi's.

I did not see the walmart in Union City Listed, so here you go...

Union City Walmart
30600 Dyer St
Union City, CA 94587
(510) 475-5915

Also for bait Asian markets are usually lower in price for things like squid, anchovies and such.

At the end of 2014 I went to the Big 5 on Mowry Ave. in Fremont to get my licence. Their machine was busted. They also told me that the Big 5 in New Park Mall in Newark is no longer there. So you could probably remove that one.

Ocean Cove Lings and friends got me hooked.  My brother and father-in-law too, so we are about to spend some dough gearing up.  I'm in Berkeley.  I would really like to support a good local business and not just buy from Amazon.  Any recommendations? First looking for rods, reels and tackle.  Too bad Outdoor Pro in Oakland is closed.

I don't know your area so I can't help in that regard. But there is still the outdoor pro shop in Cotati, up the 101. Maybe stop there on a Sonoma coast trip?

Thanks Don't Rock.  Good idea. Unless there is a shop worth supporting down here, I'll buy there.  We have a house in Timber Cove, so we go up often.

I wonder if its possible to have a sticky post for a list of bait shops that can be updated by users...
If not, I can start a google doc that people can collaborate and add to the bait shop list, then an admin could sticky post it?

Hope everyone is stuffed and thankful!

Found a good tackle supply store today. Was on my way to Sportsman Warehouse and saw a sign for Turner's Outdoorsman Hunting and fishing. Was looking for some 4-5oz Jig heads. They had a great selection of lures for rock fish and ling. Also had a bunch of Shimano reels on clearance.
Store is located:

Roseville
9200 Fairway Drive, Ste 130
916-771-8586

Looks like they have new stores in Stockton, Modesto and Sacramento
